[alfa] 105 light switch R&R

[Jacob Haagerup <digest@xxxxxxxxx>]

Digestibles.

The light switch in my GT has gained the irritating habit of switching 
off the front marker lights along with the instrument lights and most 
seriously also the rears. If i pull the stalk ever so slightly towards 
me they turn back on.

My fix at the moment is a wedge of paper which maintains pressure on 
the stalk since it is annoying, difficult and also somewhat dangerous 
to be driving along at 180 kmh with one hand on the wheel - what? Oh 
no, I never drive that fast - I swear.

Anyway, I reckon the steering wheel has to come off to get at the 
switch (which in itself will be pain^H^H^H^H interesting) but what will 
I in the estimation of the digest be facing once I get to the switch 
and will it be fixable? New ones are hard to come by and expensive I 
understand, so I'd rather prolong the life of the one I have - in true 
shade-tree alfisto fashion.

Any advice and experience by the digesters is welcome (in particular 
besides the *fit relays* advice which I am probably going to do anyway).

TIA
