Default High/low switch

Hi,

Does anyone know where I can source the high low switch for 2008 LR 3 please.
It doesn't work and no failure message on the dashboard. picture below.
I read in the forum that I might just need to replace it.

That switch is part of the terrain response assembly. It's one piece for the transfer case, air suspension, special programs, HDC.

Here is a link to a new part, but if you can find one at an auto wrecker yard, try that first...

That terrain response assembly is not for a 2008. This part is for the '08.

Thank you all.
After taking the terrain response assembly apart. I noticed the small plastic push pieces are not pressing the electrical Circuit Board properly.
so I added some thickness to them and now they work perfectly.

I am having the same problem with the height control switch. Can you be a little more specific as to what I should look for and how exactly you fixed it? Any pictures?

I was able to remove and clean the switch without having to buy the entire $300 part, number YUD501590WUXG. First, I removed the gear shifter. Next, I removed the console. This is tricky as you have to be firm to get it out, but it is almost entirely plastic so be careful so you do not break any of the clips. Once removed, there are 2 screws that hold the cover to the electronic board. Once the screws are removed, you can pull the cover off and reveal the back side of the electronic board. I then pried the electronic board out of the console with a small screwdriver. Be careful, there are 4 white plastic plungers, one on the top and bottom of each switch, that can fall out easily. These plungers activate the electronic board when you press the switch. On my board, there was some sticky substance, like coffee or soda that had seeped through to the top of the electronic board. I simply wiped the board clean, particularly under the little rubber covers, with alcohol wipes and put everything back together. Problem solved!


Console removed from vehicle.

Back of console.

Bottom side of electronic board with back of console removed.

Bottom side of switch with electronic board removed.

Small white plungers that can easily fall out.

Top of electronic board that needed to be cleaned with alcohol wipe, especially under the rubber pushers.
