will these switchs work
i just broke my blinker switch and my windshield wiper switch was all messed up. so i went on ebay and found a used blinker, headlight, and windshield wiper switch and it came with the shroud. all for 20 bucks. it came off of an 87 turbo, my car is 88 non turbo. just woundering if the switchs will work. the guy said they would. my only consern is the windshield wiper switch, because the one i just bought has the switch for the back window as well and mine is not. will it work. thanks guys

Yes - you're good to go. The rear switch is a bonus.
Clean the contacts before assembly. I use spray contact cleaner. Scrape any visible corrosion off the pins.
Warning - be very careful with these old & brittle plastic parts.
Tighten the screws just enough to hold and not fall out.
If you see any cracks, apply some high strength epoxy to beef up the area on the inside.

Former Moderator. RIP Icemark.
The only thing to remember with Ebay switches (and I buy a bunch of FC switches each month on ebay) is that 60% of the switches I buy on ebay will be bad or need work or have broken plastic on them. Yet most ebay sellers will say they are in good or great condition.
For me that is not an issue because I rebuild the switches or use parts with other switches to make them whole again, but for the average joe who doesn't do all that; ebay switches are no better (and sometimes much worse) than what you find in a junkyard.
