You can have your battery tested but that sounds more like the EIS is not working right. What happened to your e-brake? Mine is not feeling right lately when I release it.

sorry havent replaced mine. looks pretty simple though from the design of the clips. Look like you just pull the switch out like any other connector and put the new one in. Maybe glyn or someone can post up a shop manual pdf of it.

you are right phister...i see there are 2 lock notchs on the switich may be I take a small screw driver and press one of the notchs that will dislodge the switich and then I can pull it out and then juts push in a new one.....seams to be too easy but will try getting the old one out...

thankx
