Ignition switch pushed into dash
Someone pushed my ignition switch or button in through the dash. Looks like I will need to go into the dash to disconnect and reinstall it. How do I get into the dash to remove the switch? Will I have to buy a new switch?

I doubt you'll need to buy a new switch. If anything the tabs that hold the switch probably broke.
To gain access to the switch start by removing the lower panel located below the steering column. I believe it's 2 screws and the rest is just a matter of popping it out. Once you have that panel out you can look underneath and see what happened. In case you need another speedometer bezel I have one here. Just PM me.

YEP! The switch just snaps into four small tabs. It will most likely just snap back in.
Mine went bad and I had to replace it. The spedo benzel just snaps into place. Once you unsnap it, you can pop it out and easly see the switch and where it goes.
