Hi guys , I have an 06 r53 with my 3rd set of tires on it (runflats ,michelin f1s and currently yokohama avid 4s) car has 75k miles and have loved it every step of the way-post rft both sets of tires have been great but on Monday it was 8 degrees and I leaned on the tire pressure reset button next to the
E brake but instead of it acting like a "switch" button where it comes back up after depressing it, it is stuck down and I am wondering if there is an easy way to bring it back up,besides going to the dealer-the tire pressure is fine and even all around so i know its not the actual pressure but the fact that the button is jammed.-Thanks in advance for any insights

 

is it gooey? (pop, beer, meth, ect in it?)

maybe hairdryer if so?

stab at it repeatedly? lol

maybe a needle for a light prying


what have you tried so far?

 

I also suspect it is just a little gooey. You could try a little WD-40 to try and loosen up the goo then try to pull the button up with pliers or tweezers.

 

If you are not sure whether or not it is a water soluble sticky thing in the switch, use isopropyl alcohol to unstick it, it'll dissolve oil or sugar. WD 40 might not be good for the plastic, so after you get it unstuck, spray some silicone spray in the switch to lubricate it.

Mine was like that the frost time I pressed it, I got an icepick and dug it out. I got a new switch off eBay for about 12 bucks. I think the PO spilled soda in it or something.
