Broken light switch
« on: 24 June 2013, 05:37:24 PM »
Heard something drop onto the pedals over the weekend, had a look today and found a metal clip about 15mm wide and 40mm long. Not a clue where it came from until I noticed that the light switch cluster is loose. It still works but its not clipped into place. Hence the clip I found by the pedals. Any idea how to re-secure it?

Open the fuse box on the end of the dashboard and press the light switch out from behind.  The drawing looks like there could be a metal clip on top (and bottom?)

Ahh the old push it through from the rear trick

Ta very much, it has 3 clips in total, 2 underneath. The plastic holding clips have gone brittle and let the spring clips fall out. I've superglued a couple of thin plastic pieces to stop the clips going to far back and dropping out again.

I'll give it an hour and see if its enough to hold them, if it doesn't work I'll dig out the JB weld
