Driver Side Seat Switch ceased to function. The seat was locked in a position that could be utilized (Albeit somewhat uncomfortably) by my Wife and eldest Son, I however could not get into the car…
2 screws to remove the Switch.
Removed the contacts with a small amount of screwdriver persuasion. Used a marker to make dots where they made contact to ease reassembly.
Removed cardboard insulator.
Removed the center section by depressing the clips with a pick and jiggling it out.
Used a small pick to pop the 4 clips from the switch body.
Lots of leetle pieces.
Used some contact cleaner and a clean rag to clean all the contacts
The “rocker” contacts were filthy & pitted, used some 220 grit on them (would have preferred something finer but that was all that was on hand). Finished them off with some contact cleaner.
Same process on the 4 pins in the main body.
Could not find my Conductive Grease so I reassembled it dry.
Carefully reassembled the unit, used hemos to reinstall the rockers.
It now works great.
(Of course I found the Conductive Grease right after I reinstalled it)….
