Thats what I'm talking about... I just pulled my drivers switch yesterday, and I already I lost one of the little tiny springs inside. The level is ok, but it might break next.
I'm not sure I want to fix it again, or buy a new switch... or get something like yours.
Care to share a write up, or even better have one I can purchase?!!
Great write up! Really appreciate the detailed pictures as well as the gotchas!
One small suggestion I had that made putting the ball bearings back in the switch a LOT EASIER (Step 7) was to put a little di-electric grease (same kind used on battery terminals) on the spring/hole opening on the white square tabs. This keeps the ball bearings in place as you fix the switch back up....remember a little di-electric grease goes a long way. You don't want to grease up the contact points a bunch.
Thanks again!
Thank you for the recommendation you right that will help and prevent future corrosion.
Thanks for the post and the pics, it gave me a really good idea of where to look and indeed my problem was the same. I disassembeld in any case and the switch is now JBwelded together, currently curing. I'll have to carefully dremel out the holes where it rotates, but that should be fine as long as I go slowly.
on my circuit board, there was a big white component inbetween the 2 parts to clean.. (I guess it's for the "auto" control, since it was the driver side switch)
I could unscrew it but not remove it completely, so it kept all the time in the way of the cleaning and reassembly process... very boring ^^ I spent 1 hour to succeed reassembling the last part. But finally it's good !
