Oh its in there... deepest part, not obvious how to get to. Its a little spring, about half diameter of the switch housing and the tang breaks off. Just been too long to remember exactly how to get to it but I recall the pin was hidden too, or hard to get out or something. As I remember I would have fixed this early spring of 2002 or 2001, hopefully this will narrow down the search.
