High/low switch

Funny timing.....I just had the same issue and performed the same fix. Worked for me as well. Nice job documenting it.

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!

I just took mine apart today. But for ride hight issue after cleaning my console. Would go up, but no response for lowering. In my case I had corrosion. I had to flow solder on the old contacts to help restore things. Works great now. Pic below shows healthy contact on left, what I saw on right. Restoration is the bottom pic. Glad I like taking the console apart for a deep cleaning every year anyway. Camping/dog sure make a mess of it.
