Ding, ding! I think we have a winner!

With the car on I can release the telescoping wheel latch and move the steering wheel back and forth and no light comes on in the dash. I'm thinking they didn't know where the switch went, so they snipped the brown wire to the light to keep it from coming on!

Rather than have them hack at it more, I think I'll dig in and try to fix it myself.

Thanks for the reply!
