Now that I own a home I don't mind the commercials, my ears perk when I hear something I might need in the future, be it a service or sale. The switches fault out even when listening to Pandora, jamming out to a good song and instead of turning it up, next. WHY!! d:
As I mostly use this thread to keep track of my truck to do's:
I still want FX4 Headlights! <-- Note to self, buy those.
I found a thread where it's been referred to as a common issue so I have no doubt it will solve the issue, I just wish it would have happened when I changed out the left hand switches that were needed to control the digital cluster. Having the take the air bag out again is a bit...daunting. Part is on the way though!
I've done that a few times on my '14. I just kinda thought it was me bumping the lower button while I was increasing the volume.
Is there a thread somewhere addressing this repair?

I haven't seen a thread dedicated to it, I've seen some misc. YouTube videos on how to replace the switch though. Takes less than an hour and half of that is waiting after you unhook the battery.
I still haven't gone out to replace the switch, of course now it's been working fine, go figure. We finally had a few nice days so I changed the oil in both the truck and hatch and installed the Fumoto drain plug on the truck. Mainly did work on the hatch; replaced bulbs, detailed interior, replaced faulty window switch and I also changed out the coolant and washed both. I didn't notice the paint bubbling on the truck, but I guess under the dirt it was. I think I've decided to just get the bumper re-painted Tuxedo black and while I'm at it change out the front grille to the one I want and finally get the FX headlights.
I haven't decided 100% on which grille I want, in part because I want to keep my front facing camera and the new grill will have to have enough of an opening to fit it. Might have to start a thread and see if I can get some measurements from folks with the other grilles.
I decided to continue with my summer cleaning and began cleaning under the hood. Still have more to do (like the underside of the hood,) but I've made a little dent on the things I can reach without my step ladder.

I finally got around to doing upgrades that I've wanted since I purchased the truck. I replaced the chrome headlamps with the black Fx headlamps and put on new running boards, Ionic Black 51 series.
I've got the parts ordered to add auto headlamps. Looking forward to that inexpensive addition.
In the mean time I removed my fumoto drain plug. It doesn't allow for all the oil to drain and I'm picky.
Nothing too exciting, just rolled over 100k and changed the plugs. The gap on these old ones were .60 on average. New ones came gapped around .48 and I can hear the difference at idle.
