I just got done with this job and it's one of those that just needs a ton of patience only because of its location and the likelihood of not having the right screwdriver for the job.
I had a flashlight set up to point to the ignition switch. After putting a towel over the door sill, I slid my 6' 2" frame headfirst on my back under the dash with a 3 1/2" flat head screwdriver that you might use on a computer in one hand. The tip of that screwdriver is about 3 mm wide at most. There was still loctite from the factory on the two set screws. I moved as far to the gas pedal side as I could to get the bottom screw using my right hand and then used my left hand kind of over my head for the top screw. It wasn't easy mostly because I didn't have the perfect screwdriver for the job. But after about 30 minutes, I got it all done and went to start it up and nothing. I had panel lights but not even the click-click-click you might get from a dead battery. So I went back under and reinstalled it and made sure the switch was seated well and put it all back together in about 5 minutes and this time it started right up.
$10 part. 40 minutes of my time. Success and slightly sore back from doing some yoga I hadn't planned on.:dance:
