Hey Guys,

Lately I have been having issues with my instrument lighting. It will randomly stop working, and the only way I can seem to fix it is to turn off the ignition switch, sometimes that does not work either. I don't use the headlights much, as the car is driven during the day for the most part. However, I noticed tonight, after they died 3 times in 2 miles!, that the ignition switch and key were fairly hot to the touch, when I removed it after shutdown. I'm going to drive to work tomorrow without the lights to see if the switch stays cool, maybe I can isolate the electrical portion of the switch that way? Does anyone have some instructions as to how the column comes apart? I'm concerned about messing with the gearshift interlock cable, air bag, and being able to get the key tumbler out the right way. Any help or suggestions would be awesome!
