fhofstra,

Thanks for the explanation. Great write up on what to watch out for. I will give you a bit of advice. A digital camera comes in VERY VERY handy for doing procedures as such. I have taken numerous mechanical and electrical things apart and in one instance, restoring an antique tube radio, I was extremely glad I took many pictures before replacing any dried out capacitors in the circuit. One mistake I made was I hooked up a capacitor to a wrong terminal. If I didn't have the pictures I am sure I wouldn't have that radio working today.

Next time I get to a wrecking yard I will find an in-dash switch to take home and get ready for my intrigue if it ever goes. Great learning experience too. When I get one and dissassemble it I will take pics and see if I can post a how-to thread on this procedure. Perhaps you can review it with me so we cover everything.

Any idea if a switch from an Impala or Grand AM will work in the Intrigue? The reason I ask is the last time I went to a wrecking yard I couldn't find any Intrigues, and my mother's Grand Am has the similar in-dash ignition switch.
