    If so, as said previously unclip the perforated panel, undo torx screws, remove the rest of the panelling.
    When you get to the point you can see the board you will find that you can remove it with the switch in place.

    The switch is supported on a plastic bridge, Check that the two copper legs are making contact with the edges of the board, if not (and i suspect they aren't) gently prise the switch off the support.

    Use a pair of needle nose pliers to gently bend the legs back outwards, then with the switch separated with the board use a fine abrasive paper to CAREFULLY clean the contacts on the board and the switch legs.

    Push the switch back in and you should just be able to connect the power back to the board as it is loose to test, if not make adjustments to the switch legs and check continuity with a DVM.

    As said previously the car does work on a can bus system but this shouldn't have any effect on the switch.

    Sorry if this is a little sketchy, I did this quite a while ago.

    Let me know if you need any help, it sounds complicated but is pretty straight forward.
    thanks for this. never have i seen such a poorly designed switch.
