I can hear the motor trying to jump when I do this, and I get a spark. Sounds like I need to pull the dash. I have a good replacement sitting right here by me, thanks to a previous visit to Unca Joel. And, as Mike B just wrote, it gets easier the more times you do it. It should be a snap this time as I will have done it three times in twelve months on two vanagons.
