Default sand in the button...

I just got back from a weekend trip to the dunes in Silver Lake MI, had a blast , and did'nt break anything But, the OD off button got full of sand and stoped working, and I could not turn my OD off.
Is there a relocation set up to put this button somewhere else? maybe the empty switch location beside the hazard light button???

This thread is NOT what I thought it was going to be about. I was thinking of another (I would imagine) annoying issue.

This happened to my O/D button. I tried a vacuum, compressed air, and none of it worked.
I ended up popping the button all the way out and cleaning it, has worked ever since.
I did post a thread with some pics also....
