Thanks dedwards. The section of the manual you suggested didn't go into the detail about having to disconnect the lower dash panel to access the connector for the multifunction switch. I also found the cable tie wrapped in 2 places. Once I was able to access the connector, disconnect the switch connector, and cut the tie wraps, removal was very easy. Before I lowered the dash panel I found a small light duty spring laying on the floor carpet. Now I have to search for where it might belong. If anyone knows where it belongs let me know.
Thanks
