What is this button and where can I find a replacement? (2001 porsche boxster)

[jakeru]

Remove your ashtray - just hinge it "open" and lift straight up and out. Then, remove the fastener(s) below ashtray. You should now be able to remove the center console trim piece in which the power window switches, seat heater switches (or blank/dummy switches, as sounds like your car is equipped), and the ashtray mounts to. Access the broken blank/dummy switch from underneath, and ascertain if broken (if so, get replacement somewhere - just a simple piece of black, ABS molded plastic) or possibly, it just need to be pushed back upwards until snaps into position. Don't press down on it so hard next time (obviously!)

Porsche dealer can probably get a replacement brand new switch dummy blank, or otherwise go to an auto recycler, like Woody here on the forum, or someone else parting a used Boxster (without seat heaters.)

Good luck!
