Hi all,
I just got back from the dealer - my inspection proved to be positive with no replacement of the switch required. The mechanics said that if there is a kink in the wiring or the cable is tight then only then it should be replaced. A home test is to turn the bars left to right a coupleo f times and there should be minimal impact on the cable. If the clip is set along way back from the ignition block that it makes manouvering of the bars casue stress on the cable then only then will it perhaps grind and snap. They said it is not known why the clip is there in the first place given the wiring is fiastened in two other areas - he said the clip can grind away over time and so removal is required and extra tape to secure cable.
My inspection took 30 seconds and the extra taping and removal of the clip about 30 seconds.
