Default Not a bad job at all as mine was the one that went out the other day....

Two bolts and the two electrical connections.

Disconnect the battery as the large electrical lead is hot and any contact to ground will throw sparks!!!!!!!!

Bottom bolt is pretty easy to get to with a long extension. I was able to get to the top bolt from up above with a socket (16mm me thinks).

Turn key back slightly until climate control display comes on.

Default Ok, got a quote on the cost of a starter and switch

The switch is $63 Canadian, the starter is $500. :-O Plus, I've got to pay an extra $150 for the starter which is apparently returned to me. They'll take my current starter and send it in to be rebuilt and I get the $150 back when the rebuild is done I guess.

I've found starters much cheaper online. Is there a good place I should buy one from?

What an expensive mistake!
