Default Broken seat heater button

I was turning off my heated seats yesterday and as I went to push the button back into its spot it just kept going. Now it's like half an inch or so down the tube, with no sign of coming back anytime soon. Has this happened to anyone before? It's gettng cold and I want to keep my butt warm, plus it just looks bad and I don't want a broken car. Any ideas on what would need to be done to fix it and what it might cost me?

I think its an easy fix. Just needs re-set form behind. Try searching for a hazard relay install. Its the same procedure. You'll need to pull the radio out.

If the clip isn't broken it should pop right back in.

If not you might have to figure out a way to get it to stick in there.

Do not take it to a dealer, you won't walk out the door for less than $250. They will charge you for a new switch if it's just a busted clip.

LOL mine just did this the other day. I just havent made it up to somewhere to take my headunit out. The dealer took mine out last time but yeah I wouldnt have them work on it. Its the passenger seat for me so i'm not too worried. I might go fix it this week and I'll let you know.

Your car should be smart enough to remember you turned it off and keep it off until you turn it back on again.

You may want Chuck norris to look at your car. And when i say look, I mean just look at it.
