Mine did the same thing about a year ago, and had it bypassed. Now I have bought a replacement core to go in and will, eventually, one day, maybe this centry, pull my finger out and look at whacking it into my stagea. But I really dont want to take apart the whole dash to, so going to look at accessing it through removing the glove box and trying that angle, mainly because I have a front passenger side airbag, and dont really want that going off at all
Waiting for a copy of FAST so I can try to firgure out how big a job it is going to be.
Good luck with yours!
