Yeah, I should have indicated the symptoms here. I was tracing down a peculiar battery drainage and found a frayed wire that was allowing the headlamps to stay on in the DOWN position. I also noted the low beams would not come on. I corrected that; the lights are working properly, and the battery has been holding charge (it had previously drained completely overnight - well, of course! On the plus side, it charged full). I don't use the car as much as I used to, and I don't visit Miatanet very much anymore (lack of time), so I'd forgotten whether the headlights would behave in a peculiar manner if the ignition switch, turn signal stalk, or the pop-up button were going bad. I'm EXPECTING that I may see some symptoms in future. I just replaced the ignition switch this afternoon, and that is a simple procedure except for the one screw that holds the switch in place; due to the limited working room, one needs a very short phillips screwdriver or an offset phillips, and I didn't have an offset with me (I used a very tiny flathead). Anyway, What are typical symptoms for the turn signal stalk and the headlight pop-up button going out besides the obvisous -no turn signals and no pop-up? That is, are there any symptoms OTHER than no turn signal and no pop-up? On another note, I'm replacing the glove box latch now, and I'm not sure how to get the key/tumbler thingy out of the old latch to put it in the new one. There are no instrustions in the Enthusiast's Manual in the Interior section. Has anyone done that recently and can you advise me on how to remove the old key-set piece (without breaking it)?
