So for the past year or so my 2010 LX has not been able to engage 4 low. I found the problem. So I took a close look at the switch unit and found that the little plastic pin that moves the contact was stuck in it's bore. Found a good amount of sticky substance (coffee or soda) in the switch area. I took it apart and pulled the white pin and cleaned it and the hole it goes into. Unfortunately the rocker switch has a piece broken that would normally run against the tip of the white pin to move the contact for 4 low. I was able to press on the pin with a screwdriver and what do you know the 4 low engaged instantly and disengaged when releasing the screwdriver. So I will either order a new or used switch assembly and be back in business. Also of note my usb stopped working a couple months ago and I traced that down to some sticky soda or something on the connector. After cleaning the CONNECTOR with electric cleaner and plugging/ unplugging several times that is working too. And to think I needed a transfer case actuator (sometimes we get lucky) I have never spilled in this truck but the previous owner must have (probably due to our shallow cupholders LOL). Anyway figured this might help some of you guys out

Great job!
How did you remove that switch panel? The S/N/C suspension switch on mine is slightly sticky and want to clean underneath it.

Pull out cupholder. Unscrew shift knob. Pull up center console bezel (just clips).. flip it over and there are a bunch of Phillips screws holding the switch panel in. Not too hard a job
Good tech!
nice! glad it worked out!
Depending on how much sugar-laden coffee and cokes have been spilled around there it might be somewhat hermetically sealed in place. Takes a bit of force.. but as long as you pull straight up it should come out.
Thanks. Pulled it out and found out the PO had a dog, or he/she had alot of hair lol. 
I need to replace it after I cracked the silver top trying to get myself in the seat the first week I owned the truck. There is a plastic piece just under the holder that looks like it would block liquid from soaking whatever it is under it.

Mind as well grab a 12mm and adjust your parking brake while you are in there. Nearly all the LC/LX's I've driven need a little more tension the the e-brake. ...and yes, this area is a semi-permanent record of the previous owners. In my case, a blond mom that seemed to shed a lot as well. Luckily, very clean otherwise.
My 2008 had weak clips, but if you gave it a good, somewhat violent pull...it just comes out.
Sounds the perfect excuse to upgrade: 200 Series Double Cup Holder – BH3D PrintingThanks. Pulled it out and found out the PO had a dog, or he/she had alot of hair lol.

I love mine.
Wow didn't know Joey was making anything for the interior of the 570/200. I guess I like the oem bling cover a little more at this point. The oem part cost is around $125.
