suns going down.

Had any one cleaned this switch before?

Yes, on early C5s I believe it suffers from burning of the contacts. Dress the pits out.

Cool

Only doing this as driving and car feels like the brakes have come on i pull off then i get brake faulty warning

[ej2095]

Erm how do I remove this?

[ej2095]

And is it a good idea to clean both switches?

[ej2095]

Hmm got them out. ..

The white switch has had the switch taken apart before and the pads inside turned upside down. . Can I stick a spot of solder on these pads to being back to life?

[addo]

Possibly! Did it come from north of the border?

New switches are peanuts.
