Guys, where can i find a how to for rebuilding the headlight switch. I need it fixed by tonight. Me and my friend have been trying to take it apart and have already damaged the board, but repaired what we did, where am i looking for the part that burned? I can see where the harness burned, but where on the board do i need to reconnect? Thanks for your help.

 

look in the faq, i found this there

https://www.rx7club.com/2nd-gen-archive-72/write-up-rebuilding-your-headlight-switch-383384/

edit, im trying to be a lil nicer

 

I had to do this a couple weeks ago.

Before you go through all the trouble of taking it completely apart, check to see if you have a bad solder joint on the connector itself.

 

that rebuild is for one that the headlights dont work on, i failed to mention i am talking about the rear lights/dash lights not working problem. I guess im not looking for a rebuild, but a fix for this problem. Sorry for the confusion, i had already read that faq, i am looking for what is broken on this thing.

 

There is a thread in the 2nd gen tech archive on rebuilding the headlight switch.

Please use the search function before posting.

And if the harness is burnt, you will need to replace the harness, and the plug soldered into the circuit board on the light switch. Do not rebuild the switch or try a new switch without replacing both those or it will just burn out again in a month or two.

and I sell rebuilt headlight switches in my webstore if you get in over your head.

 

thanks for the help guys, not quite what i was looking for, but i guess im just not good with words. I had already seached and read everything i could find on this forum and several others. Tomorrow im visiting junk yards. See I dont own a mazda, i own a subaru svx if yall know what it is, but a friend of mine at work owns one, beautiful car, and it is having this problem, i am not familiar with the car but am trying to help her as she is moving monday. I managed to crack the cbd so now i have a lot of repairing to do, i would buy one from your shop as i have run across it several times in my search, but i have to have this in by tomorrow. Well thanks for the help guys and sorry for the confusion
