I am having a problem with the overdrive button. Most times I have to press it numerous times to get it to engage. What's the fix?

I would assume a new button.

Thanks.. I guess it can't be taken apart to clean contacts maybe?

Nick might be able to help with that. I live the manual life!

Row, row, row your truck, all the way across town!  

I found a thread over the other forum on taking it apart.. going to try that first. Thank

You can pull it apart and try ti clean it, it is nothing more than a momentary on/off switch.   

 

I would assume the issue is not in the cleanness of the switch though, I would assume the contacts are worn out.

Well.. I took it apart last night and following the instructions to clean the contacts with an eraser plus apply a little dielectric grease to the prongs.. it worked beautifully today with the softest touch! See how long it lasts :-)

I take pictures of everything :-) Do I just post it in a thread or is there an article place to do it?
