Having read the repair tips for intermittent switches,i thought i would tackle mine but,
Do i need to disconnect the battery before unplugging the switchpack or when plugging it back in??.
Every time i disconnect the battery some gremlin rears it's ugly head:roll:

Changed the battery recently and the buttons stoped working on the key fobs.(Had to put key in lock and re-sync)
Never checked the radio till a week after and guess what it was dead.
And it's a pain to set the windows when one of the up buttons does not work so have to plug the lynx kit in to set the window.
The list goes on and on.
Never mind i will disconnect the battery as you say.:???:
Just thought it might be ok with the ignition off.

As RichardG says, and you cannot short out any wires. I have removed and replaced my window switch it packs several times without disconnecting the battery with no ill effects. I always hate trying to re-set my sunroof after a battery disconnect
Ah Music to my ears,Thank you.`)
Just did not want to unplug/plug while live in case it damaged the switchpack.
And the sunroof is turned off using my lynx kit so no re-set of the sunroof needed.
Bloody thing only leaks anyway.:x

Not sure if i managed to stick the little plastic bits on with the soldering iron though.
So if the switch comes loose i will have to resort to araldite.
But your sticky post was invaluable,Thank you.
