Default Archives, archives, archives....(c'mon say it with me).

There, you shall find your answer.

...and if you "search", the answer will cost you $0 to fix (well $2 give or take).

Default From thGet it from the Dealer

Happended to us - either the wifie or the kids (both denied it). You have to get the whole new unit, but relatively inexpensive.

Though you could buy it and do it yourself, the center console is pretty complicated to access, and so the dealer did it for one hour of labor.

Well worth it.

Default Just replaced mine 3 months ago

It looks as if yours was similar to my original part - it has the crystal clear plastic stem in the middle. The part is the entire switch unit

When mine broke, I was told the old part number did not even exist. The new part has a different **** and the stem is a different black plastic.

The worst part: it's a $75 part.

<b>Edit</B>: You can easily do this part yourself, DO NOT pay for labor or you will double the cost. The part will pull straight up, its just two tension clips holding it in. Once the piece is out, just detach one wire and hook it to the new part, re-insert and you are done!

Default BTDT, had to replace the whole thing. I popped the old one out by...

...getting a finger under it via the cupholder. It's kinda tight and painful but worked well. :P

Default Looked up the part number....

My original was:

The replacement:

Thanks to the unknown AW C5 member who looked it up for me the first time around!

Default Bentley say to pull up the wood shift surround to pop up the control...

a bit more room than the cup holder. Just my two cents...
