Yes, I'd mark the steering wheel position and remove the wheel so 
you can see in there. It's especially hard to remove the switch on 
the 72-3s, but I think you might be able to see something. Some 
kind of cleaning might just do the trick.

If you see melted nylon when you get the wheel off then I suspect 
that someone goofed up the wiring some time in the past and drew 
too much current thru the switch. That should have just blown a 
fuse, but you can never be sure that the person didn't just put in a 
really large fuse, or a jumper.

BTW, on the email list, there's never a reason to reply to BOTH the 
individual AND the list. Like all the rest of us, I get all the 
messages anyway.
