Default Holy Ignition switch!!

So my headlights went out, no temp display, blower went out, no seat heaters, rear defrost, no wipers, etc.... so from research here and some very helpful members we figured the stalk switch and someone else suggested an ignition switch possibly. Starting pulling my car apart and i am by no means a mechanic and smelled burnt wires. Called a friend of a friend who works on honda's and had him get down to the switch and it was burnt up on the back. I don't like to mess with electrical stuff so i paid him $100 and bought the switch for $32. Solved everything - Audi wanted almost $600 to do the same thing!! Thank you again to this forum for all the help[sm=thanx.gif][sm=happybounce.gif]

Heheh, that would explain the loss of all those other controls on the switch. Glad it's solved
