I've had the same good luck with a recall on the headlights that was done wrong. Rather than them doing the labor to pull it apart, I first order the part and then just have them do the fix. Saves a TON of money.

I've ordered the $1 part for the trip reset button and will have to pay about $75 for them to pull the dashboard to do the install (not comfortable doing it myself).

Uh oh.

Yeah, there is no way the mechanic is going to de-solder and re-solder the button for you.

Just have them replace the whole board, it's $25 online.. maybe they'll match the price.

The dealer is going to want to replace the circuit board. The circuit board is not expensive (maybe $35), but they may not have it in stock.

The button replacement in this thread is intended as a DIY solution.

YES, that is what we planned to do... HOWEVER, a guy from Louisiana I think said to work the button from the sides and all around, which seems to have done the job. NO replacement needed as it is working fine for now.

THANKS!!!
