Default D2 Seat switches for D1

Anybody know if you can use D2 seat switches for a D1? Both switches in my vehicle were intermittently working then stopped and I can't seem to find any for sale. Lot of D2 switches for sale though.
Thanks in advance.

Take your RRC/D1 seat switches apart and clean them. I've never ever had to replace a single RRC/D1 seat switch in all my years of LR's since 1989. They're famous for getting nasty inside. take em apart in a plastic bin so you don't loose the springs/*****, and contacts. clean the contacts, and lightly lube it and you should be good to go.

Didn't know you could do that. Thanks for sharing. I will definitely do that as I found new switches for $80 each so taking them apart and cleaning them is my only option.

As noted, borrow a cookie sheet from the kitchen and do the surgery in the pan. Those little springs and ball bearings like to run away. a white towel on the bottom helps as well.

I just cleaned the insides of the switches. The driver side worked but the passenger side did not. Now neither works. I cleaned the driver switch again but that only works intermittently now. I'm thinking that I have a bad ground somewhere. I don't think that it's a fuse because the driver side works intermittently.

Any ideas?

Now the driver side seat works flawlessly but nothing from the passenger seat. Fuses are OK (the ones under the driver's seat). Could it be bad relays? Are all four of the yellow relays under the driver's seat for both seats?

Thanks
