The button to change the clock and reset the tripdometer stopped working.

It used to work intermittently when I press it very hard, but now not at all.

How hard a fix is this? My clock is 52 minutes off and I would like to get it accurate again.

Thanks!

Spray contact cleaner into the back of the button to clean the rusty contacts.

I think you can actually pry the switch open probably with a small screwdriver for a deep clean. Worst case a new switch.

Vespa p/n 641859 for the round mode button.

Should be 5-6$ from your local dealer or any of the online vendors: Scooterwest, Scooterpartsco, or AF1.

That's the hard part. Don't force it, you will break tabs.
