Title: How are esp and tyre monitor switches held in place?
Post by: ReflexRob on September 27, 2015, 07:39:44 pm

My switches are lifting slightly and are easily able to be lifted. They don't sit flush with the blank switches. Should there be some kind io retaining clip?

You may need to remove the ashtray to see if the thin metal strips are still in place  Google images will help

Thanks,  I did remove it all and no metal strips were there so that answers the question nicely!

The metal clips are probably hidden in the depths of the cavity under the ashtray.  Well known for falling off.  If you do manage to find them, superglue them back onto the sides of the switches. :happy2:  There should be two per switch.
