Thanks a lot. Took mine apart and found that liquid must have spilled onto the circuit board under the rubber lever contact. Gave it a good clean with alco swab on the circuitboard and the little metal contact in the rubber button.
Working a dream now. Local dealer said you can't buy secondhand as the board is VIN locked so would show up errors.
