I'm in! I bump those POS's all the time, Arrrggh! I dabbed some silicone under my kill switch, but I don't think that's gonna fly in this case. Maybe I'll pull them apart and see what options there might be to tighten 'em up...

That's not the point. I am surprised it took this long for this to come up. I bet I am having to check , and switch them every 15-20 minutes. They really need to make the switches smaller , and click on/off harder. The Polaris ones that were on the Edge series never had such a problem. The elements suck on A/C as it is - then when you know you switched them on, hands are cold , look down and they're off - it's a p.i.t.a...... Seems like they're on when you don't need them and off when you do !



Once and a while yeah.... but is it really that hard to turn them back on???

Always turning them on or off because they were bumped.

I don't know if I like the old style switch's on the 01's any better. I have busted them off. These don't break off but they do get hit a lot.

I would bet you could wire in a toggle switch somewhere else to do the same job and bypass these.

I have always had the same problem and it's annoying. I re-routed all of my wiring so that it's down by the key as someone else mentioned above. I don't have a picture of it on my 08 but here's a picture of it on my 06.
