A large percentage of us have already done this becuase the switch is a POS. I am glad to hear a few members here have not had a problem. My arugment is its only a matter of time as it will happen at the most inconvient time in the most inconvient place and you be saying damn GC warned me. Im sure age of the componet, mileage and AZZ time in the cockpit all factor in here as to why the switch fails. Or you can just bypass it and when you car doesnt start you know what you can rule out. A no brainer if I ever saw one.
Question: Do you know whether or not the previous owner turned the key and then pressed the clutch, or visa-versa (like should be done to avoid arching at the contact points)?
