The keyed portion of the switch is installed with break off screws and locktite. The screws have to be drilled out. A corded drill is needed, the battery type will drain before the hole is made. A 45degree bit will make things easier.
You will also need a trip to the dealer for new key programming. The lock must be ordered from Sweden, through the dealer.

A dead battery will cause all of the other symptoms. I suggest trickle charging the battery, with both cables disconnected, about 24 hours. And then play it by ear.
