Thanks for the input guys. I'm hoping to maybe build a P-car friendship with a diy guy. I will do many things myself, but I don't own a tool for this procedure.

Is there something else that may cause these symptoms? With no keying in the ignition the light will not come on. With a key in the ignition the interior dome, trunk and frunk light operate normally.

A friend told me that our local dealer did this for free, it takes about 2 minutes.

I will at some point give the dealer a call and see what they say. I don't have a working relationship with a dealer and after scouring previous threads it looks like many people have had to pay at least an hour labor for this. I would like to get it resolve, but if I have to pay dealer rates at some I will just leave it.

I was hoping that maybe I would find a local enthusiast to build a relationship with. I will give it a little more time and then call a dealer or three.
