EyeFlyIsTheEye Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 I took apart the trip computer/clock on my 2005 LGT because the DISP button was sticking and found that the rubber contact was broken behind the button. Basically, it's a rubber plunger with a silicone tip that presses the circuit on the circuit board when you press the brightness/disp or hour +/-. I checked opposingforces and the vacation pix and can't possibly find what they're called nor any part number for them. The trip computer is fine except for these, and I know if I replace them, it should work properly. Does anyone have a part number for these or a non-working trip computer that I could possibly buy these from? Thanks. http://img543.imageshack.us/img543/4665/p1010237z.jpg http://img852.imageshack.us/img852/3527/p1010236.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EyeFlyIsTheEye Posted March 12, 2011 Author Share Posted March 12, 2011 Well, I spent my Friday night fixing my trip computer instead of my usual routine of hanging out with supermodels and getting drunk. Using the Google, I got an idea from the good folks at the Chevy HHR forums and dissected a cheap calculator I had laying around: http://www.chevyhhr.net/forums/showthread.php?t=30813 Basically, I pulled off the carbon buttons from the calculator, stuck them to the back of the stalks from the button and while the "button feel" isn't as satisfying, I think this will last and it's much better than buying a new clock for $185.
