Disconnecting the switch is called an "interim" repair... this is to remove
the possibility of the switch causing a fire until sufficient stocks are
available (FWIW, IIRC, the harness supplied for some applications was
fused
on the wrong side of the switch.... the new jumper will be double fused so
that "one size fits most").
Now... re-read the part about "fire"... A poor way of doing business would
be to allow your van to burst into flames while they waited for sufficient
parts to be on hand...
