PeterAllen Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 After several attempts to repair the OEM switch I've given up and performed an upgrade. I found this process on HydridZ but I couldn't locate the switch suggested. http://forums.hybridz.org/topic/125801-repair-solution-for-bad-turn-signal-switch/ I found this switch at Bursons and after grinding away a bit of the dia on the toggle arm it worked perfectly. I've included locations of the holes - best done before cutting the plate to size. The hole sizes are 3mm for the securing screws and 11mm for the switch.

Administrators gav240z Posted October 20, 2017 Administrators Share Posted October 20, 2017 Hey Peter, what OEM switch do you have and what is broken with it? I am looking to 3D print the internal plastic rocket switch part to fix a broken 1 myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterAllen Posted October 21, 2017 Author Share Posted October 21, 2017 It's the earlier one with only two contact points. Basically the contact points were worn/burnt. I've tried bending the rocker arm and stretching the spring but each modification only seems to work for a short period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndBir Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 Old thread but thought I would update with another possible non OEM switch option for those with non repairable or unreliable turn signal switch.. The Narva 60291BL Micro On/Off/On Toggle Switch is smaller and does require a mounting plate to be made and the toggle to be "built up" to a wider diameter to be a snug fit in the sliding plastic fitting of the indicator "arm". Stainless steel, epoxy sealed SPST, solder type terminals Amperage rating 20A at 12V, 10A at 24V Mounting opening 6mm dia.

Ponyo240z Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 Great help, I repaired mine but it's unreliable. I will try this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndBir Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 6 minutes ago, Ponyo240z said: I will try this I forgot to mention that when soldering the wires to the new switch they need to be swapped to the opposite ends of the switch compared to the original. So White with red stripe to White with black stripe and visa versa. Clear as mud? Ponyo240z 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
