Is there anyway to free the stuck switch without ruining the rubber tip? Steve
In my past experience with the same problem, I changed the battery at first bcause I thought it was going bad. It worked for about 1 week, then I noticed it was not the rubber tip that is keeping it in the on position, but rather the micro switch itself is staying down once pressed. I could not fix it. I had to bring it to the dealership. Cost me a new key fob and reprograming. $220!!! Do you have 2 keys? I would just sart using your other one. After some wear and tear they seem to go bad. Keep in mind the key/remote I have is 6yrs old. The new one they gave me has a much harder casing and is more durable. Hope this helps and good luck.
