[s-cars] Engine Speed and Ignition Signal Sensor Location

[Eric Phillips]

Awww, crap.  See, the other stuff is cheap, but that damned
multi-malfunction switch is about $150.00.  I'll live with it for now, I
guess.  I'm sure as hell not going out to buy the combo switch until the
headlamp juice blows up that part of the switch.  BTDT.
