Thank you in advance for your suggestions, what a great forum.

My yellow HDC switch is stuck in the down position (ON ). It does not seem to be the result of an outside influence ( ie Children or Wife ). Ironically, I used another post to fix a problem with my brake switch (thanks again) and everything worked perfectly for 1 day. I then decided to test the HDC, the button depressed but would not return. HDC green stayed on until I shut down, now HDC failure system not available shows in message screen. Battery is 6 mo old and fully charged.

I really think this button is stuck on and malfunctioning b/c it seems dead with no action.

So I removed the floor console upper panel with assistance of another LR post (thank you), and attempted to access the switch.

Question is, can I purchase a HDC yellow switch without buying a whole new console upper panel. Does anyone have a schematic of the floor console upper panel?

I am trying to unseat the white casing below the switch but I am not having much luck.

Any suggestions? I plan to go to the dealer tomorrow and have them look up the parts.

Thanks

So your suggestion is to download the manual?

Thank you very much for the fast responses.

unseenone - I appreciate the link. I searched Atlantic British and google but could not come up with the part. Thank you.

I will report back with results of the swap!

 

My goal was to get the owner all the info so he could make the choice on DIY.

He asked about a schematic, and about taking things apart. Figured the manual was a good place to start. I really don't care where he buys the part.
