With car off and key fully back they work. I think it is the switch but just wandering if anyone else has had this problem before I tear the coll umn appart?

At that point in time see if you have fire/continuity at the appropriate wires in the pull apart connector dangling under the steering column live every 24 hour block of time like it's your last day on earth

Sometimes when you release the key from the start position it doesn't return fully to the run position and the gauges don't work. Rotate the switch back a little and they start working - so yeah, could well be the switch.

In ACC, no power just unlocks the steering wheel. You are probably correct about the run position. Maybe I am just lucky or there is a "revised" design out now?
