Title: Rear de-mist button not working (or even lighting up red)
Post by: gerlewis on 12 January 2009, 14:09: I have checked the fuse and it 'appears' fine. Can the switch be removed fairly easily off the dash to check? it sits flush to the dash so not sure how I would prise it off.

Any advice, or suggestions as to what else could be at fault?

Post by: gerlewis on 13 January 2009, 22:22: I popped the button off , but underneath there was a little circuit board with LEDs on it.

Does this come off to, to expose the switch mechanism? Couldnt see an easy way of removing it.
