INTRODUCTION
When servicing interior electrical switches and components, please note the precautions in this bulletin to avoid damaging electrical components and switches. Many lubricants, cleaners, and automotive chemicals contain silicone or other compounds that may contaminate electrical contacts, and therefore increase electrical resistance and decrease switch performance. The use of any cleaners or fluids may increase the risk of further damage to electrical components.

PRECAUTIONS
The following precautions must be followed to avoid damage to interior electrical components.
- DO NOT spray chemicals, lubricants, preservatives, or cleaners directly onto, into, or in the vicinity of electrical components (i.e., brake light, combination, cruise, door lock, window switches, HVAC blower motor, or J/B in engine compartment).
- DO NOT attempt to clean a switch that has had liquid spilled on it (i.e., coffee, soda, juice, etc.) with cleaners or lubricants. The affected switch should be replaced.
- DO NOT attempt to repair a malfunctioning switch. Replace it. The use of any cleaning fluids may cause additional damage.
- DO NOT use sprays containing silicone on or near any switches. This could contaminate the contacts in the switch and lead to a malfunction.
- DO NOT
use upholstery steam cleaning equipment inside the vehicle, as water vapor could condense inside of electrical components and damage them.NOTE: These are a few examples of the electrical components to avoid damage to.
