Hi All
On my automatic, yeah I know but I'm lazy, the RHS change up paddle is not working. :icon_no2:

Does any one out there know if these operate via micro switches or a contact on a circuit board, etc.

Vehicle is out of manufactures warranty, by 9 months, bugger.

I want to do some home work before going to the dealers so I at least have some understanding what the issues may be, so I'm not lead astray by them wanting making money, sorry if I sound cynical.

I've tried searching the net but could not get any meaningful returns. :sad:

Hi.
It is just the paddle problem.
All other paddles work OK.
It is just the right hand up change paddle.

The M -/+ on the centerpiece and the paddle shifters all operate with a micro
switch. They are very similar to the Cherry micro switches used in the arcade industry.

I dont have a part # of the top of my head.. Check the service manual.
