Re: [Chrysler300] Smokin' Seat!

Matt,
First, I would probably pull the switch and spray the heck out of it an 
aerosol Electronics Cleaner fluid you can buy at NAPA before 
disassembling it.  (Works great on cell phone hinges as well!)  That 
may un-gunk the switch.  Then a little WD-40 as this shouldn't 
interfere with switch electronics.  Get it so it feels really free and 
reconnect, keeping it handy to disconnect again.  I've learned to have 
a fire extinguisher handy at all times and the hood up ready to 
disconnect the battery.!

Also, I'm not sure , but shouldn't this switch be connected to a 
circuit breaker (or fuse) that may have saved your car from almost 
going up in smoke?
John

         You can wiggle waggle the switch lever and see if it goes back 
to
center (Off). If that doesn't fix it, then pull the switch and pry the
little tabs on the back and remove the guts, carefully. little springs
are involved here. Do this on a clean table with a cloth of some kind
so little parts don't bounce off.
Most switches are very simple inside and you can clean up all the
contacts as you do this repair.
