90Q20V: Headlight washers & uncommanded diff. lock

["Hardwick, Robert C" <Robert.Hardwick@PSS.Boeing.com>]

Ian Duff suggested that maybe I wasn't trying the headlight washers with
the lights ON.  Hadn't occurred to me over the summer.  So I rushed out
to my car, started her up and leaned out of the open door so that I
could look around the front for the telltale spray.  Actuated the washer
lever and ... got a complete faceful of windshield washer spray.  Wasn't
this an event in Monty Python's "Twit of the Year" contest?  BTW, the
headlight washers worked fine and rereading the manual told me to turn
on the lights.  Duh.

Also, I had asked the Digest how to remove the diff. switch from the
console without breaking plastic interior pieces to bits.  Got no reply,
but the 2 yo took a long enough nap yesterday to figure it out.  Switch
was covered by disgusting, gooey spillage - Pepsi syndrom in the literal
sense.  We'll see if the cleanup worked.  Is there a maintenance FAQ to
which I could write a little "How to Remove Diff. Switch" instruction?
It's not hard, but why reinvent the wheel?
