Hey guys,

If you run into this problem, don't run out and buy a new switch until you try cleaning the contact ball on the old one with WD-40. From what I read, the switches hardly ever really go bad, the area of contact just gets corroded. Luckily, that was the case with mine.

Also, removing the switch isn't so bad if you use an offset box end 22mm wrench. I bought one as part of a set from Harbor Freight and it worked like a charm. I didn't have to remove the exhaust or the clutch slave cylinder. A little patience and 30 minutes later I was done.

Hope this helps!
