[V8] Bypassing starter switch

[cobram at juno.com]

The switch is relatively easy to fix, easier to fix than a cooked harness
if you accidentally bridge the wrong connections.  Buy the switch and use
it "manually" by plugging into the connector until you get around to
replacing the defective one.  Bonus is it'll give you a chance to test
the new one for a while too.  Hope it's not the tumbler assembly, if it
is there is a work around I've found for the 8 hour procedure Audi calls
for.
