That's what I am having to do. Is it the switch? How hard is it to change the switch?

changing switch not hard at all. tilt steering wheel all the way down. remove small dash panel right above steering colum (no screw). remove bottom half steering wheel colum cover (2 phillip screws on bottom). remove 2 screws holding switch to colum and unplug harness.
