Is it easy to change out the clutch safety switch?

Do I need to take the seat out like I did for swapping out the quadrant?

Are instructions online anywhere, or is this a no-brainer part replacement.

If you can't tell, I haven't taken a thorough look under the dash yet to see how to replace it.

Right now I'm jumping the solinoid to start the darn thing, which is no fun in a
place that rains all the time.


Thanks!

Just for the record, this was a very tough part replacement for me.

I did have to take the seat out in order to reach the cotter pin and screw that holds the switch in place.

This job took about 1.5 hours for me, and was much worse than the quadrant.
