For some reason, the prior owner had removed the one by the filter. Not being an electrical genius, at what point do I test the circuit? Also, I pried up the two pads on the steering wheel to take a look and they looked OK...it seems unlikely they both would fail on me. Are these pads what you refer to as the switch or is there something more ominous that I need to look at? Thanks, Derek
