sticking round hazard button - s1

[zebedee]

So the button stays jammed in when you push it in and can only be released (to turn hazards off) by pulling the button off completely and then wobbling the switch part around until it comes free, which takes several minutes. I think this probably means a new switch assembly as I have tried a bit of gt85 in there to lube things up to no avail.

a) am I missing anything

b) how do you go about replacing the switch?

My sidelights one does the same thing.

I am planning to remove them all and give them a clean - they are probably just gunked up.

the buttons pull off with a bit of effort, but you might find the switches are simply jamming up - they look clean enough. It seems a bit like what you get in a retracting biro when the mechanism just wears out.

seeing as you got me onto their page re: throttle linkage, thing this is the answer: https://www.eliseparts.com/products/show/50/537/pu...

They are peugeot 106 and other switches on the S1.

they are indeed. Annoyingly they don't do the sidelight one, so no idea where that is sourced from - hence why I am going to clean mine out rather than replace.

they do the sidelight one on the link I put up, its dipped beam that is not available. I didn't even know there was a side light switch to be honest?!

They do but I am not paying £40 for a sodding 205 button!

I had to pay the big ££ for one on my S1 Exige there. Brutal what they charge.

how do you get the existing switches out of the dashboard?

[Altrezia]

Big hammer? (The tabs on the left/right push inwards: https://www.eliseparts.com/img/up/06/1_39a1ae0.jpg )

Weirdly, I just ordered the sidelights one from EP after trying and failing to clean mine up. Boo hiss.

[zebedee]

how do you get to the tabs though because the dashboard is in the way when they are installed!

[Altrezia]

Pull the grey plastic bit that surrounds all the buttons off (forwards) then you'll see 2 screws on the underside of the lip holding the top dark grey metal bit on - remove that for access

Be careful - they have a small glued tab on the underside which is easy to break and is what holds the top of the metal bit in place - mine has broken and the dash pokes up a few mm which really irritates me.

ta, I will check the pics in your next post out when I get home as my work computer always shows little boxes with x's in instead!
