The last time I had a switch repaired, the work was done by forum member Pele. That was a couple years ago, and it's still working just fine.

PM him.

That's his website, I see his rebuilt switches for sale on craigslist quite often as well. Looks like good quality work. Hope this helps.

Would be more than happy to rebuild your clock/warning light cluster and wiper switch. Or we have already-rebuilt units on hand if you'd like to have one shipped to you ready-to-go, and not have to be non-functional in the shipping interim. We refund you the core charge after you send your old unit(s) in.

We rebuild most anything electronic on an RX-7. Give me a shout via PM or through the website that jaydun323 linked to from two posts up. Thank you for the reference!

Ok I just ordered both the headlight switch and wiper and idiot cluster.
Can't wait till they come in.
One question though do I send back the cores back in the same box?

Anytime 13BEtc,I'm just glad someone still rebuilds them. I've only ever seen one wiper switch fully function and it was rebuilt by you, keep up the great work.

Bump for a good thread.
13B etc, I am also looking for wiper switch relays and looking to do the window switch relay upgrade.
(Weird thing also happens with my rear wiper switch. When set to intermittent that switch buzzes at the top of the wiper stroke, stalls, buzzes again for each wipe. Is there a relay inside the switch assembly?)

Horns out too...either relays or more likely just dirty switches.

I'll be needing some parts(86 GXL).

Thanks!
