Faulty console switches

Faulty console switches
Hi everyone,
I have a 2010 34,000 mile XKR. I'm really, really pleased with the car but was wondering if other owners have the same problem as me ? The four switches around the centre console (Dynamic, ASL, DSC and Ice) are all
difficult to operate - they require some fiddling to turn on and illuminate. I've purchased a second console unit (Part No C2P20671) which appears new old stock, but that is exactly the same. Is this a common problem and does
anyone have a cure (doesn't look like the switches, individually, are removable ??). Thanks in advance.

Not those specifically, but they were originally manufactured, so there has to be a way to take them apart. They didn't grow that way on a tree.
I've disassembled many, many things, including switches, that were never meant to be 'user serviceable' and repaired them to operating condition. You just have to reason it out.

You know you have to push and hold the Dynamic, Snow and DSC buttons to for a second to engage them?

Hello MarkyUK,
In defence of those so-called 'ramblings' by fellow members, they are only offering advice (sometimes from personal experience). The whole point of this forum, surely, is to do just that ?? One persons 'rambling' can be another
persons solution. With regards the buttons on the console, surely if they need to be held down for a second or two then the handbook should say so ? I've checked my buttons again and even holding them down doesn't always produce the required outcome. Thank you for your input. Kind regards.

If we had the knowledge of all the veteran members on this forum, we wouldn't have to ask questions here. The fact that we don't - and are asking for the wisdom of those more experienced - should be met with fair answers, not snark.
If I am wrong, please let me know. I strive to make my mistakes clearly so that I may be better corrected.

So, yeah, maybe you should thicken up your skin a bit. I posted only to help.
