Hi all .. My to do list.... is the hazard warning light switch . When I push the switch to operate the flashers the switch needs a couple off
pushes to operate .. So has any body took this flasher switch to bits then cleaned the contacts : I am sure there are new ones to be had
but this is more fun .. Cheers

New ones aren't available, so if it is broken, you may aswell try to fix it ! They're fiddly inside, I'd try some non invasive contact cleaning spray first and just douse it, before taking it apart. My headlight switch exploded into a hundred pieces when I opened that up. Woops!

I have spare switches in the shed im sure, pm if needed

Ok I may need you as a back up plan B ... I have contact spray but the urge to take the switch is nagging at me

Easy to do, just make sure the spring doesn't fly off onto the carpet monster, usually just needs the hardened grease removing and a fibreglass pencil clean up of the contacts.

Thanks Bigherb .. I took the switch apart it looked just like the one in the photo, bit of spray & a fibre pen
put it back together .. Brilliant it works perfect .. So whats next
