wtd: sierra switch gear (indicator/hazard switch)
Hi all,
my hazard switch issue has got progressively worse. Does anyone have a switch I can borrow for my test or buy ASAP?

You will find they get water in thru the top.
I have had two go like this.
Next one, put a squirt of WD40 or similar in it to help prevent the problem.
My end game is to convert it to a Hella Switch on the dashboard, as good sierra switches are getting scarcer by the week.
1. The point of a journey is not to arrive.
2. Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.
Best Regards

Some have 3 screws holding the 2 halves of the casing together to allow you to take it to bits, others don't
If the problem is the indicators not working (left or right) unless you press down the hazard switch ontop then the problem is where the hazard switch
stops on the end of its travel. There is an L shaped piece of wire that dictates the 'clickety' motion of the hazard and the end of the
'L' shape bends up which makes the hazard switch sit too high and disables the indicators.
Two of mine have gone this way and all it needs is the end of the 'L' bent back to 90 degrees. There are different versions of the
switches though and different hazard versions too.
The above is applicable for the mk1 indicator stalk with the 'pin 15' layout and the square hazard (you can clearly see the hazard metal
wire in operation on this model at the rear)
Normal is getting dressed in clothes that you buy for work and driving through traffic in a
car that you are still paying for - in order to get to the job you need to pay for the clothes
and the car, and the house you leave vacant all day so you can afford to live in it.
