Guess what? Now you will have to replace the entire signal light lever and hazzard switch which is all one unit, Just did it the other week, It involves pulling the steering wheel and air back and requires special tools, You cannot change the key cylinder without removing the top cover and I don't think you can get at it unless You pull the steering wheel and air bad to get at the special torx screws when you do it. When you pull the Steering wheel make sure you mark the exact position of the air bag and make sure you disconnect the battery before messing with it.

Thankfully it was only the top plastic button part of the hazard light switch, not worried about it

Never removed a steering wheel before, I figure if I do I'll just leave the air bag out when I put it back on (if that's possible).
