    No centre console switches

    Mmmmm, the wife having buggered her car, decided that it was time to bugger mine.
    She managed to spill "only a little" coffee on the centre console switches. I've taken it apart and in fairness, it looked.mucky but not neccesarily coffee-damaged. I've cleaned the board and reassembled and there's nothing happening - no windows, sunroof, window lock or mirrors.
    Any ideas to open a window of opportunity?

    I wonder how much coffee is a little? Might have been more than she's letting on!
    I'm thinking it must have run down into the main connector plug underneath the window switch pack, possibly shorted something...maybe a fuse has blown somewhere?
    On my classic Rangie I had to pull the seat switches apart to clean all the contatcs every now and then, I wonder if you need to clean every switch, maybe spray some contact cleaner into them and work them a few times to see if you have any luck.

    Hi

    If you really want to get serious about contact cleaning, try Deoxit. They also have a contact treatment kit.

    Jaycar carries it, I am thinking of getting some and gradually treating all my contacts with it

    The panel looks alright and very clean. The illumination works and suggests 12v going to the board. My very amateir guess is the 12v to 5v transformer has blown. I prefer to fix than replace so I'm going to see if Rupert can fix it
