My daughter just got a $1k quote to replace her compressor/condenser and all the associated A/C parts on her 2010 Honda Fit, but I happened to notice that this little button wasn't working, so I figured, lets replace this little part first ($50) before you spend $1k on replacing "everything". I'm a diy'er, my daughter not so much, but she loves the savings. This video is exactly what I needed to get the job done myself.
Listen... I am a mechanic professionally and have been for many mant years now. My button went out i ordered a new one and immediately began pulling dash trim out. Decided to pull up youtube and found your video. You saved me tons of time and headache with this neat little trick. Thank you so much. I would have never thought to do that.
This is a big thanks from the UK where the Fit is called the Jazz. Maybe add that to your RUclips title for many more views!? A very good get around indeed!!
Just did surgery on my 2010 Fit and your method worked a charm! The whole assembly came out, black shell and all. Simple disconnect and reconnect and Bob's your uncle! Thanks, so much for this, Kevin!!
Thank you very much Kevin. It took me less than 5 mins to replace the AC switch. Please note, I use same kind of screw and put the screw in the center of the old switch as Kevin said.🙏
Thank you! I decided to time myself and had all my tools with me. 18 seconds (the black clip came out with the rest of the assembly). It's that simple.
Worked like a charm! Mine didn't pull out as far, but a small common screw driver to depress the release for the connector worked just fine. Literally a 2 minute job, thanks!
I could not get the screw in there so, I used a nail and a hammer. I was thinking, make a hoke then I can pull the nail off and insert the screw. Well to my astonishment, when I try to pull the nail off, the switch cam off! It was easy peasy !!!! thank you so much
Hey I have a problem with my Honda fit 2009 AC, it was working well yesterday but now today it doesn’t wants to turn on at all. When I press the switch nothing happens, the fans nor the compressor turns on it’s just completely silent like I didn’t touch anything. Even my fogger doesn’t turn on, what is my issue? Is it my AC resistor or it’s an electrical issue
Hi Kevin, don't you know how to replace the bulb in the fan/heat button? What type of bulb do I need? I didn't want to force the button to pull off. It seems pulling off is not the correct method. Unfortunately can't find any video regarding this. Thanks in advance.
Okay, that didn't go perfectly. I think one of the tabs got caught, cause that thing came out in jagged chuncks. Still saved me a ton of time compared to taking the dash apart. Thanks for the idea, now I can spend my day on something else.

I love that saying...
Bobs your uncle...
I couldn't get the screw in, but I used a flathead screwdriver to shimmy it a ways out, and then pliers the rest of the way. Thanks.
I just want to thank you I replaced it today for only $35

Wonderful idea! You guys can retire the button with a knife if you don’t have a screwdriver like me
Thank you so much for this. Followed instructions and no issues. Took 5 mins. Take care

I remember seeing the bulbs inside my switch but I don't think you can but them? you may have to get a new switch? I'm not sure
Obvious to most, but you left out the part about first drilling a hole in the switch face so you can install the screw.
I did not have to drill a hole used a small self tapping sheet metal screw.
But in the video there are two hole before you started to remove the switch?@@ktoutdoor
Great video!
How did you drill the hole in the switch to begin with?
Self tapping screw with a sharp point
Awesome thanks for the video great idea!

Thank you so much. Have a blessed day, my friend ❤️
My button is clicking fine, but the light is not turning on. Could it be something else? I haven’t changed the button yet.
I think the light is built into the switch.
Can you do the same for the defrost switch as well?
I would think so. But I have not tried it yet.
