WTD: Sierra indicator, main beam, hazard switch combo
Hi guys - I spent an annoying half hour driving with my finger holding the hazard switch down this morning on the way to Detling. When I got there I
taped it down so it wouldn;t keep poppoing up and making the hazards flash.
I took it off when I got home and it seems that there is a grooved path that a little catch thing runs in when you press it on or off. Anyway, the
groove is worn through at the point where it is supposed to hold it in the off position - a little annoying when you're driving along, to
say the least!
Anyway, has anyone got a spare one knocking around that they would like me to relieve them of? I think just the red bit with its plastic base (i.e.
where the contacts are as well) would do it as there are some screws on the housing... though maybe it would be better to replace the whole thing.
Failing that, does anyone have the Sierra stalk pinouts so I can disconnect it and wire to a separate switch?
TIA
Simon

the problem is not the groove itself but the fact that the metal catch thingy has cut through the wall of the groove where it is supposed to hold it.
I've tried melting it together with a soldering iron but that was no help
