So when I bought my XJ there was an issue with ignition. The key works about 90% of the time. The other 10% the guy had installed a push button under the dash. I'm not that eager to dive into the column and fix the issue, between the key and the button it always starts. So yesterday the button was getting sticky and hard to press so I decided to replace and relocate it.

The button would pass through the lighter hole so I had to put in a washer on both sides. On the face of the dash I painted the washer black so it would blend in a little better. I was impatient and nicked the paint installing it like an idiot. While it was all apart I also decided to paint the gauge bezel. It used to be gray like the steering column and the baby blue plastic color was showing through in a few places. In all...it was simple to do and I happy how it turned out.
