Tired of fumbling with your keys or dealing with a dead, unresponsive switch just to get into your under-seat storage?

It cures the common issue of intermittent connectivity or sticky contacts caused by weather exposure, ensuring you can access your helmet and gear instantly.

Key Features

Fitment Guide

Technical Specs

• Product Type: Under-Seat Storage / Saddle Release Actuator Switch

• Cross-Reference Part Numbers: 582988, 582988-AFT

• Material Composition: Heavy-duty matte black ABS composite polymer with spring-loaded brass contacts

• Connection Interface: Integrated 2-pin spade male terminal plug-and-play assembly

Maintenance Note: If pressing this button yields no sound at all, the switch is likely dead. However, if you hear a clicking sound coming from the rear frame area but the saddle won't pop up, your electronic actuator or latch cable is jammed.

Installation Tip: Be extremely careful when popping the old button out of the knee pad panel. Use a plastic trim removal tool rather than a metal screwdriver to prevent permanently scratching or gouging your painted plastic plastics.

Pro Tip: While you have the switch panel apart to insert this new button, check the wire harness terminal block behind it. Modern Vespa scooters frequently collect moisture inside the leg shield; spraying a quick dab of dielectric grease onto the spade connectors will stop future corrosion in its tracks.
