Dunno if they have it there, but the site is actually www.iluvmyrx7.com . They do have the FSM's and some other good reading material though so go check it out.

I sell both rebuilt switches as well as can rebuild your's for you or you can try and rebuild it yourself (I do get a pretty regular number of people that smoke the circuit board trying to do it themselves).

I also have instructions for the rebuild on my site. Some of the other DIY sites suggest all sorts of cutting and butchering of the switch, which you may wish to avoid.

I bought new relays and had them profesionaly installed by a Instrument technician friend with a good background in soddering circuit boards. Self repair is hit and miss. I ended up sending 1 out of 2 of mine to www.mazdamark.com who does a much better job.

Speaking from experience, unless you've done this sort of thing more than a few times, I'd not recommend doing the procedure yourself.

I'm the king of DIY -- cheap bastard, don't like to pay for any service type things if I can avoid it. I butchered my switch, ripped the traces off, don't do it. Send it to Mark -- he'll take care of you.
