Red start button

I could not resist.
Easy to do, pry pod out, pop off back of switch panel, pull tabs on button, pop new one in.

Nothing electrical to disconnect/connect? That’s what scares me.

There's a plug on the back of the cluster, just unplug/replug.

It was so easy to install that I installed it in the parking lot next to the Amazon pick up that I go to, just need a plastic panel popper and tweezers are recommended to remove the black button.

I used 2 small Allen wrenches, one in each tab and then a little push to get the button out.

It’s really easy, get your plastic pry tool under the housing and get it wiggled out, unplug it, take the back off, pry the stock button tabs off, click new button in,snap back together, plug in, shove in dash.

Installed mine yesterday - thanks @billnchristy for sharing this little mod. Installation was a breeze - took 5 minutes at most.
