The work is all done and I wont be removing the console to take pics but I can do a best as possible written how to. I was actually surprised how easy the console was to remove and once it was off, the broken wire was very obvious, even in the dim garage light....and after a few beer!
I was clued into the cause of the problem on another forum where someone mentioned the broken wire and others saying they had the problem. Some had even taken to a dealer or other repair place and they replaced the +/- switch on the shifter. I suspect that fixed it because it probably comes with the wire harness attached.
I was sooo happy to have that fixed at no cost. It was really bugging me and the car was very difficult to keep at a steady city speed (50km/hr).
I'll write something up and post it soon.
