New development...

While upside down, under the dash, trying to figure out how to remove the ignition switch....

I noticed a button under the dash...checked the owners manual, and it says it is the "intense washer" pump button...ok, I get that...it's on the right, under the steering column. Well, I notice on the left, there is a housing, with pieces missing...it looks just like the intense washer button, but broken...





It is not in the owners manual.....so I/m like WTF?? I took pictures to post, and ask what it does....I thought maybe a fuse holder...while examining, I notice that the wires for it run under the steering wheel and are spliced to a red, and guess what....a thick yellow....not unlike the one I was jumping under the hood....Hmmmmm....anyone following my logic here???

Sooo, I take apart the intense washer button, put it's guts in this mysterious button, turn on the key, push it...and viola! the Damn engine cranks...WTF!!!

I guess that confirms that the ignition switch is bad...right?

I will put it back stock, but freaked me out.

Good thing I fix broke **** for a living.....
