Notice to John Zibell: Do NOT tell me to search, cuz I did! :laugh:
Seriously, need help with the turn-signal switch on my -- beloved but aging ... that's Kathi's description of me, but it seemed apt here, too -- 1998 HDM EV. It has 93K and is my daily commuter, tho Kathi and I took it to the mountains last weekend for old-times' sake, and it was a champ. The HDM is the perfect livery for fall, too. But, I digress.
This is, I think, a mechanical, not electrical, issue, at least in the sense that the problem is the teeny-tiny (#$%^&* :evil: ) screw that keeps the L/R and cancel switch in place and pivoting inside of the switch housing ... also, of course, home to the low- and high-beam switch, bright-flasher switches, and cable to "choke."
I have become adept of late at removing said housing, locating the AWOL fastener, and replacing it into its hole thru the t/s switch. I wish I did not have to do that every few days and presume that there must originally have been a lock of some kind to keep the *&^%$ screw in place semi-permanently. OTOH, if so, cannot imagine how one can get a nut or lockwasher into the #@$%^& crevice that said nut would go.
Anybody know? Any work-arounds? Replacing entire unit easier? Obtainable at an "unstupid" price.
Thanks.
Bill
