I've been putting it off for a while but my drivers seat switch stopped working so while i was putting speakers in my car, i thought while I'm here i'd fix them too. The common issue is the contact don't contact properly and needs a little clean or the balls have came off the release point. I unscrewed the screws, and took the switch and housing off. I had not much cable length so made things hard! to get the actual switch out of the housing you push in 2 tabs with your fingers (a bit fiddly) and the switch pushes out. Next i got a screw driver and pushed in the 4 tabs on the switch to take it apart to reveal the inside be careful of the steel balls as they'll fall out. I gave the inside a spray with WD40. You'll see the balls wont really stay on the springs when you try to put it back together and each time you touch the button it comes out of line. My solution: fold paper and stick it between the button and under it so it cannot move. Then i glued the balls to the springs (this made it much easier to install Repeat for the other switch And screw it back in. Done

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

cheers Pauly my down switch doesn't work most of the time so will give this a go. nice tip on gluing the balls
No worries Bruce, I came up with the glue idea after trying at least 7 times with fail. The balls would just fall out of place each time i go to snap it in place. But my switches still work after the fix
