March 11, 20241 yr comment_663034 My mistake I thought everything was changed out to LED bulbs. With the harness/switch issues a lot of folks are experiencing.

March 12, 20241 yr Author Popular Post comment_663053 Success, I did the ohm readings and you can see from my chart compared to Steve's chart that the left #4 terminal and the right #6 terminal where not getting power from #5. I took the switch apart again and bent the #4 and #6 contacts down a fraction of a millimetre and I also put a thin spacer under the spring so the contact toggle would make firm contact when switched to left or right. It is working perfectly now. Thanks @SteveJ Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/68854-signals-acting-up/?&page=2#findComment-663053 Share on other sites More sharing options...

March 31, 2024Mar 31 comment_663484 Now that the contacts are burnished they will develop arc burns faster and fail sooner. Driving mine daily in Phoenix they'd last about 6 months before I'd need to take the switch apart and clean them again (that's with a fair amount of surface street and freeway driving - meaning a fair amount of signaling). After 5 or 6 iterations I gave up and found a "new" switch (that had fewer miles on it). It's been going for three or four years without any problems. I actually wish there was a way to recoat the contacts.
