Start button pushed into dash

Asked by Brian Nov 09, 2018 at 06:38 PM about the 2015 Ford Fusion Hybrid Titanium FWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

A beautiful woman otherwise known as my wife
borrowed my car and pressed the start button with
the key fob a little too hard and know the button is
pushed into the dash.  We managed to push it with
a straw to turn the car off but I need to start it
again to get it to the dealership.  Any ideas on how
to get up under the dash to push the button?  It
looks like the silver ring was what was holding it in
place but that came off.

Try using a pliers on the edge of the chrome bezel and see if it will unscrew. Or better yet super glue something to the switch then pull it back into position.

We have replaced a couple of those at the dealership. If you have warranty remaining the dealership could have it toed at no charge. If warranty has expired it is on you to get the vehicle there. DO NOT use pliers to try to unscrew the trim ring. Using pliers will only remove cash from your wallet by destroying a part that you may not now need to buy. If your vehicle has remote start can you start it with that and drive it? Not sure how it works on this particular vehicle.

Same thing happened to me. I unhooked the button from The wire pigtail, pulled the bezel out of the dash, superglued the bezel back onto the button, reattached everything, and told my wife you must be getting strong from all those days at the gym.
