Central console temperature gauge

Hello everyone,

The temperature toggle switch on the central console has a small crack in it. I have only noticed the crack when the chrome plastic feature on the top went missing. Does anyone know if I can replace the toggle switch or do I have to replace the complete console. Its a small problem but it bothers me a lot

Thanks

Tom

It looks like switches might be seperate

Good luck!

I wonder if anyone has had trouble with the temperature selector becoming very stiff to operate & stick in position ?

Contact Cleaner spray often solves the problem of sticking switches.

Thanks, but how do you get to the innards of the switch to apply it ?

Absolutely no idea :D I'm software oriented.

I would try the flood method of spraying down the edges of the switch on the basis that it's most probably how the stuff that's gumming things up got there in the first place. If it doesn't work then it will need a local indy to look at it. Or a £500 trip to the OPC.
