Default Re: Pushed Switch Thru Console

When this happened, the backlights for the row of switch stopped working, and now none of the switches work (spoiler, heaters, etc...). I am trying not to panic (and kill her). Now I have to wait until my radio removal tool arrives in order to remove the radio, and then console cover to see what kind of damage was done.

Do you think she managed to unplug the main unit by shoving that one switch thru? Are these switches that flimsy that you are able to push them through this easily?

I'll post a picture later. HELP!!
Well, to answer your question and give you time to calm down....I wouldn't have a clue since I have never jammed my damn finger that hard on any switch in the car ......lol


OK, now that you are calm...hopefully, the switch just wasn't locked in properly, and she just pushed it thru unplugging the harness...never know, maybe a mechanic or someone had been in there and never put it back right...good luck either way...
