Default sticking start button!

hey guys.
last night i took apart the start button assembly to change the bulb in it, i put everything back together today and when i start the car the button stays engaged. whenever i have my foot down on the clutch it stays engaged, is it busted or did i mess something up? maybe i didnt clip the circuit board back in right?

please help, gotta take my S out to thanksgiving dinner tonight!

-Nick.

QUOTE AND IMAGES FROM ANIMES2K DIY GUIDE

Start by GENTLY prying up on the clips on the chrome part of the button to allow the white plastic piece to slide off. There are two clips, one on the top and one on the bottom. Work the white plastic and spring piece away.

Next you will gently push the clip on the side of the button assembly out of the way to allow the circuit board to slide out the back of the button.

Now you can remove and replace the bulb, which is integrated into the circuit board.

Replace in reverse order, carefully guiding the contact leads through the white plastic and snapping everything back together.

Ensure that the button works properly (depresses and springs back)

Bro the same thing happen to me on Tuesday take it apart again and on the board you see the blue button with a spring. if you look inside of the start button you will see a small round thing that the spring need to be popped over it again. what i did when i put the board back in i had one finger pushing the start button in while i put the board back in. pushing down on it i heard a pop and saw the spring was around the little thing and it didnt come out easy anymore

hope this helps
