BA-Listik Member 6 Member For: 16y 5d Gender: Male Location: Adelaide Posted 11/07/09 01:48 PM Share Posted 11/07/09 01:48 PM Hello guys I recently just bought a BA XR6T and I am loving it. Now for some reason my traction control button from day 1 was very sticky and would require a very firm push to toggle on and off. Now leaving the gym last night I noticed traction control was off and it was quite wet on Adelaide roads so I tried to put it back on. And then WHOOPS there goes my traction control button...... the force I used was not exactly unheard of for any button but it was enough to push it in to the unknown and out of sight. I can feel it hanging around close by its hole but I really need to get that part of the dash away enough to put it back in place and maybe fix the clip if it is broken that holds it in place. Has this happened to anyone else before and any idea for the best way to fix it? Thanks in advance.

Screws or clips? Is it just a pull off and clip on thing or will I need to unscrew a whole bunch of screws?

I realised this when I was installing some gauges hope this helps Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/59498-traction-control-button/#findComment-905188 Share on other sites More sharing options...
