Condition
Some customers may comment that the door mounted memory/ heated/ cool seat switch buttons are sticking or binding.
Cause
This condition may be caused by the switch being out of alignment in the bezel, creating a hard contact between the switch button and the inside release handle bezel.
Correction
1. Remove the door trim. Refer to Front Side Door Trim Panel Replacement in SI.
2. Loosen both screws (1) holding the switch to the inside release handle bezel.
3. Using a flat-bladed tool (1), carefully shift the position of the switch to create a nominal gap all around its perimeter within the bezel. Tighten the two screws holding the switch.
4. Confirm that the switch buttons are free moving, and there is a nominal gap (1) all around its perimeter within the bezel.
5. Reinstall the door trim. Refer to Front Side Door Trim Panel Replacement in SI.
