[QUOTE="Dreman, post: 823253, member: 61303"] 1. Carefully pry the switch out of the armrest. It comes out the top. 2. Remove the electrical connector from the switch. 3. Turn the switch over so the electrodes are up and CAREFULLY remove the bottom (now top) of the switch by releasing the little catches on the sides. 4. Clean the contacts inside with whatever works for you (I use alcohol on a cotton swab). 5. Bend the contacts a little so they have a little more tension for better contact when assembled. 6. Make sure everything is back in place and replace the bottom. 7. Re-install the switch. 8. Do it all again a year later. or Do steps 1, 2, and 7, and insert steps 3-6 Go buy new switch from Ford!:D [/QUOTE]
