Happen to anyone else?

I've been meaning to ask but forgot...
The power/normal buttons on my 4Runner don't stay down...
When I press the power button it doesn't stick down...
I have to actually hold the button down for it to work...
So when I let go it goes back to normal...
Anyone have this happen to them?
If so what did you do so that it stays down?

Thank you,
Ian

never heard of that happening, I'd take the switch out and take it apart and either clean contacts, or see if something inside of it has broken...

I had the same problem with mine. I did just what HOJO suggested. The switches in our center console are in a BAAAD place. Vulnerable to spilled "beverages", food, dog hair, and any other misc. crap that ends up in our cab.

Turned out my power/norm switch was full of congealed soda. I CAREFULLY removed the switch housing and CAREFULLY cleaned the mechanism and scrubbed the contacts.....CAREFULLY.....
(did I mention I was really carefull?)
DO NOT use "contact cleaner" That crap will fry your old switch. A little 409, a little air pressure, and a little patience.
