one question? how did you get enough room to remove the multi function switch connector? my hands are too big to fit under to push the tab down to remove it.

thanks

If you're talking about what I think you're talking about,
I just removed the multifunction switch on the steering column to get at the connector.. The screw by the tilt lever is a Pita, but I just used a needle nose to get at it.
Remember, if it can be put together, it can be taken apart.
Good luck!

I've got an 03+ and did not have to ground the wire in the steering column. Everything worked fine. Not sure if there is a wiring difference on the 03+s because of the different tail wiring.
