rebuild on turn signal/highbeam switch............is it possible to rebuild this switch?for some reason the highbeam switch wasnt working before I put it in storage.

It's Icemark's site. There are rebuild kits available, and he sells rebuilt units. If you're not fairly good at small electronics soldering, you'd want to let him do it - the units are fairly easy to fry.

Thanx Syonyk, I know Icemark rebuilds this but I didnt see any rebuilt turn signal switches.

 

Ah, really? Sorry about that, I thought I'd seen them on there. Looking again, I don't see them.

If that's the case, I'm guessing they don't go bad very often. I've got a working one I'd sell you for $20 shipped or so, or you can probably find them easily in the parts for sale section.

switches almost never fail... If they do, it failes mechanically and you can't pull the switch, rather than electronicly.

Probably a bad dimmer relay

 

So would that cause my highbeams to not work?

 

UH, did you read the post by icemark immediately above your question? To restate it, probably a bad dimmer relay.

 

yep, and much more common than a switch failing

 

ok Just wanted to confirm that, thanx!! I will be ordering a rebuilt wiper switch and dimmer relay from you next week ICE.

It *Seems* to me you could decide if it was the dimmer relay or the switch by monitoring the WHITE wire on the dimmer relay plug.

When you put the switch to Dim, you should get a ground on the White wire in the relay plug. When you flip the switch again, the ground on the White wire should go away. Make sense? Does to me.

Dimmer relay plug has five wires. RW, RG in two places, RB and down in the corner, the WHITE wire.

Dimmer relay is the most inboard relay of the relays in front of the radiator area.
