after you cut the piece off the back where the power plug goes, there is two black tabs that you bend back and the metal peices should slide out. that way you don't have to break off the black tabs to get the black piece out, then you will have to glue that piece back in. all you will have to do, is slide the metal piece back into the black piece. hope this helps.

Is this the correct wiring if I want a switch? Just want to make sure before I go ahead with this and start cutting.

I ended up losing my keys and had to have two new ones made ($175) the guy said that i had to re-wire it because he couldn't get the pats to program, i think that he was just old and set in his ways so I wired it back up stock and he made my keys then i put it back no problems yet. im thinking about putting the valet switch in some time this week.
how did you fix it so it would stay in place..

didnt use hot glue this time. lol. i used to bolts, one behind the dash and another in front, and tightened them down to hold the switch in place. i have a '98 though, so mines probably completely different from most of the other people that tried this

would you mind posting a couple pics of your set-up? is it essentially the same?? same color of wires as well?? i have a 98 as well and would like to do this mod as well...we don't really have a problem with stealing so i might put nascar style switches in mine though
