GTR start button! another alternative..

vin17 · 05-16-2014, 04:36 PM

Just installed it per this method. I used a plastic dental pick to remove the old switch (see Trip's photos). For an all-thumbs person like me, it took approx 30 minutes - but it is doable, even by the most inept.

This method works great! Put a little scotch tape over the flat head of the screwdriver to avoid scratching and pry gently -- it pops out and you can do the swap in like 5-10 minutes.

Very east upgrade. I did it in under 3 mins. Take your time though!

LoL @ other method.

This rocked! I used an old credit card.

So I took apart me GTR button to get a better look on what's inside.
If you look at the picture the beige "nodes" at the 11, 12, and 1 O'Clock positions are the lights that come through the lock, acc, and on position.

Does anyone know how to change out these lights and what kind of lights these are?
