Wiper switches
 
Is there anyone rebuilding these anymore? I'm a little tired of my toggle switch. At this point a functioning wiper switch would be a luxury.

Or how about the the relay numbers and that old write up?

Perfect and awesome.

Thanks much

If anyone is wondering, the part numbers given are still good, the prices are a little outdated though

Pele over on RX7club rebuilds them. He does the Idiot clusters, wiper switches, and headlight switches.

I think for $75 each plus shipping.
I'll give you his info if you want it via PM.

Sure, thanks man. I sent him a PM over on the ole' evil forum and never got a response. Figured he wasn't doing it anymore.

He's been busy lately. I'll talk to him tomorrow if you're still interested.

Can he fix the "I work when I want to" clock issues with the idiot clusters?

Is the problem with the wiper switch similar to the problem with 1st gen lighting switches? We have found that by shooting them full of Electrical Contact Cleaner (like 6 bucks from Autozone for a huge can) and working the switch back and forth for a bit, cleans the contacts up and gets them working again. No parts need to be removed to do this.

Might not apply to this issue, but I thought I'd throw it out there for you just in case. :)

The problem with the wiper switch is typically bad relays in the switch itself. Occasionally, cleaning the contacts seems to work, but a lot of people report only temporarily. The permanent fix seems to be desoldering out the old relays and soldering in new ones.

Definately interested. Wanted one a year ago but there always seems to be things more important that need my attention which is why right now I'd rather just pay for it than spend the time dicking around although I am about to order the relay

I have the same issue, what is the cause of this problem. Before it completely stopped working I assumed it was a bad connection at the harness so i removed it, checked for tight connection, reinstalled, and still had the same intermittent "I work when I want to" problem. I have become used to this problem and have never really cared to fix the issue but am sill curious about the cause of it

The solder joints in the clock just go bad with time. I managed to fix mine by resoldering every point in the cluster.

I did that too, worked quite well... then I installed too much crap in my regular electronics area (gauges, etc). Now my clock continually reads 1:00 Sometimes it will work, but then something happens and it will reset to 1:00. I think it's a ground issue I caused, which is to be expected with the time constraint I was under when I installed the gages.

How hard is it to resoder the wiper switch?

You just resolder the 10pins or whatever for the connector, and it will fix it!

Not hard at all, fixed mine in just over anhour with removal/install time.
