Paddle switch stopped working

Hi All
On my automatic, yeah I know but I'm lazy, the RHS change up paddle is not working.

Does any one out there know if these operate via micro switches or a contact on a circuit board, etc.

Vehicle is out of manufactures warranty, by 9 months, bugger.

I want to do some home work before going to the dealers so I at least have some understanding what the issues may be, so I'm not lead astray by them wanting making money, sorry if I sound cynical.

I've tried searching the net but could not get any meaningful returns.

Hi.
It is just the paddle problem.
All other paddles work OK.
It is just the right hand up change paddle.

The M -/+ on the centerpiece and the paddle shifters all operate with a micro
switch. They are very similar to the Cherry micro switches used in the arcade industry.

I dont have a part # of the top of my head.. Check the service manual.
