Is there a way to tell if this mod has been accomplished on a car without pulling it all apart? I bought mine used almost a year ago with 85K on the clock and haven't had any sticking problems, but I don't want to get stranded somewhere either. I also don't want to spend a couple of hours pulling stuff apart only to find I didn't have to.
Thanks in advance!!

To say I have not done this mod yet, but if it has already been done isn't it enlightening to pull everything apart to see whats in there? I know I will do this sometime, I have not had a lick of change to the key turning in 3 1/2 years of owning it (knock on wood) BUT if I need to do it I am ready willing and (body-wise) partly capable of getting the job done. If it is bothering you the answer is pretty simple. Cordon off a time slot and get everything ready to just do it. You'll have your answer and get to see what is inside your lower dash. Who knows, maybe your car (from previous ownership) has a wad of money (or other valuables) hidden/stuffed in the cavities. If so, I want to claim some if you use my post to get the initiative to delve into your dash and check/fix the key assembly.
