replacing start and stop buttons?

How difficult is it to replace the start and stop buttons?

I guess I'll go with all new bulbs

Fuse has to be good, right? I mean its just the one bulb in the assembly of about 6.

My car is totally disabled this morning

Brake pedal is locked, I get a couple of icons on the dash, the gear lever won't move, not even the glove box will open.

I'm waiting on a tow.
