Press the " S " button.........
If it doesn't work it may need a clean......

For any period of time ?

I have pressed this one and the others fifteen thousand times in frustration and have on occasions got it to reset but never knowing how I've arrived there. :-[

The switch unit is fairly new from Ford and I wouldn't have thought dirty yet, but hey you never know. :-X

Thanks
Mike

Don't press too hard :) Mine split in two and the tiny springs could not be found -> new switch.

Nearly got to the stage of hitting it with a hammer never mind not pressing it too hard. }{ }{

hi there

as said, s should change it, but sometimes you need to press s and r together.

If it's a new switch , have a check that it's been pluged in right, i mean make sure that the socket is home.....
If it's happened on others you might have a dirty connector. Give it a spray with carb cleaner or electrical cleaner....................

Thank you all for all your help!

scorpio_man your a genius - Thank You!
It WORKED first time as well! In fact I was able to switch from one to the other without any problems. Now all is needed is to write it down for next time, I'm getting old and the memory is not what is was you know. }{
