Im just curious has anyone ever rebuilt a wiper switch on their own and if so is there a write up on it I know these things are such a pain in the *** to all of us sec gen owners i figure i can find out just about anything else I want here maybe someone has figured it out and has shared their experiance

 

i have a 1g but they're pretty much all the same. didn't rebuild it but i did take it apart and cleaned the contacts. u can't actually rebuild them that i know of no replacement parts. u buy the whole switch. taking it apart is fairly easy u just have to be careful and watch for all the springs so they don't all go flying everywhere. and i don't know of any write ups on the subject.

 

So when you took it apart and cleaned all the contacts did all the functions work again cause im trying to figure out a way that we can help the whole comunity cause these damn things are exspensive and well im sure alot of people would appreciate the hell out of a good write up on it you know what i mean

 

the issue was that they would work on low but not high. and yes they worked fine after that. write ups r best done during the process and since this was done over a yr ago there's no way i could do a write up without going thru it again. besides i don't know how different in design the fc switches r from the fb. same thing goes when i did the mods that i did to an fb tranny to make it work in an rx3. wished i'd done a write up on that too. if u take ur time taking it apart slowly, making sure u make mental notes of where things r so u can put it back together u should be fine. maybe u could also post a "want to buy" thread in the 2nd gen classifieds.

 

Seems like a fairly simple fix if you are adept at soldering.

this seems to be exactly what I am experiencing with my wipers. I was planning to take it apart and remove the board. But, I like the idea to cut an opening for the relay. Toolmeisterbruce, did you do yours yet? I'm wondering how it turned out. I need to fix my wipers, low-beams, and horn all just to pass inspection.

 

No i havent done mine yet i need to order the new relay and money is a little tigh this second and i have to go give the county there three day vacation they want from me so ill be ordering it on thursday
