Console Odometer Button HELP!!
Looking for some help,
When I removed my dash, while disconnecting the wiring harnesses, everything went smoothly until I got to the rubber odometer button on the side of the dash. This button cycles through the information on my dash console.
While unscrewing the button, the inside wires connected to it burst apart, a couple of springs went flying, and the mechanism dismantled. I found all of the pieces and believe I have the button assembled again, but I have no idea how the wires are connected inside this mechanism. There is NO information in the service manual about how this goes back together. I played with it for a while, but can't seem to find where the wires connect inside the mechanism. Here's a couple pictures...HELP!

i think i'd go with a new switch too. they are only $15.00 at the dealer, and then you know it would be right.
on my 07, my speedo would go crazy. when i turned the ignition on, the speedo would go from zero to max and then back to zero. then the odometer would display trouble codes. turned out the switch had an internal short in it causing it to go into diagnostic mode. dealer replaced the switch (under warranty) and all was good again.

I would replace the switch. If it fell apart it was an issue waiting to happen. Throw it away and get a new one.
