Hi,

Just a thought before you replace them.
My seat switches stopped working a couple of years ago, I opened up the top cover and sprayed the inner contacts with some electrical contact cleaner. After a little wiggling the seat switches came back to life.
Two years later still working fine :D

Might be worth a try if you haven't already tried it!

I wish it was that simple .... im afraid there broken , they work fine but the bottom clips that hold them into the console are busted ( made out of paperthin plastic ) so they just kinda dangle there ..... thanks for the help tho :)

I have that same problem with mine--Every time someone goes to put on their seat belt, they knock them out and break a tab. I have used that flexible acousti-seal type gunk from a tube to "glue" them into place. It holds for a while. My sense is this is a design oversight, & replacements would break again very shortly.

I have had good success for bits & bobs like this on Ebay.

Manual seats would be nice!

Yeah , thats a good idea . I sorta didnt want to glue them but i spose it works and is cost effective . Thanks for the tip ...

I felt the same way...not wanting to use a permanent glue. That's why I went for the gunk. (sorry, I can't remember what the actual stuff was!) It holds not too bad, but can be fairly easily pulled out and cleaned off if needed.
