Personaly, I would not reinstall the bolts that break off.

I agree, new shear bolts must be used.

And the switch is very rare to have fail... I would be looking at a blown fuse or incorrectly installed aftermarket equipment before a bad switch.

Ah, I'm just a hard head. I don't replace the shear bolts. Never have never will. I cut a groove in the heads and screw 'em in and out.

I think I've tried some suggestions on your prior posts and they didn't help...so maybe ICEMARK can figure it out.
