'I' button not functioning

[rpeters549]

Turns out my 'I' button on the left hand cube under the radio buttons is not working.  Found out when I went to adjust the headlamp angle and adjust the clock.

On my Goldwing (GL1500) when I had it, it was a maintenance thing to annually spray a bunch of electrical contact cleaner, WD40 or equivalent in the switches because over time rain/dust/etc would gunk up the switch.

Assuming it is the same thing?  I tried to pull DTC's a month or so ago and it took a dozen tries, probably because this button was not doing it's thing.

So, have any of y'all had luck just sticking the red pipe on the aerosol can against the crack of the switch, take them off the bars to access, what?

Don't use regular WD40, use an electrical contact cleaner.  My local ACE Hardware stocks the CRC brand.

WD does make a contact cleaner, but that isn't what most people mean when they refer to "WD40".

I have a can of the same contact cleaner. On the 'Wings different folks used different products.

Just wondering if others have had this issue and whether the cube had to come off to clean it or if they had good luck shooting it in the side of the switch.

It's what I get I suppose for being a four season rider. 34 k now! Not bad for a bit over 4 years and no touring. Yet.
