All (almost) fixed!

Thanks. I love my salvage yard -- got the switch, plus all the window switches, the hazard switch, and the sunroof switch for $30! Plugged in the salvaged combo switch, and everything works except the left turn indicator. We can hear it even though we can't see it, so we'll figure it out later.

That combo is one complicated switch! I've had some success taking others apart (I learn on the "cadavers", which often resurrect!), cleaning contacts, running connections, carefully gluing broken plastic back together, but that one just had too many bits, pieces, and parts going too many different directions.

If anyone has any ideas about the left turn indicator, let me know.

Thanks again --

Sunny
