Thanks to Jarrald and adl6009, swapped the ignition switch today. Supplemental instruction over WIS was tremendously helpful. Adl6009's suggestion to NOT dismantle the shift lever saved a lot of steps that WIS called for.
Not so much success on strut and shock replacement. In a rush to finished things up, I crossthreaded one rear shock bolt. Somehow the front struts made noises over bumps (everything torqued to spec). Reinstallation didn't help. Guess I'm going to let the pros do it right.
Still saved a few hundred dollars on labor on the ignition switch. Strut/shock was a learning experience.
Of all the DIY inspired by this forum, the strut/shock is the first defeat. The many victories have saved me a pile of money.
While waiting for the ignition switch to come, the hatch struts were replaced, rear washer working again. Thanks to the helpful folks here.
