Mine is broken.



Are they available new? I've been looking but haven't found any. If new is available, is it quality that will last another 20 years or junk that I'll have to replace next year.

If not new, which cars can I get one from at a junkyard? Mine is an '88 Firebird Formula, manual, tilt.

 

They can be bought new at just about any chain parts store(Autozone, Advance Auto Parts, Pepboys, etc). I bought mine a Autozone a few years back for about $5. They are in the "Help" section at Autozone, probably in a similar section at other stores.

 

Got one, thanks.

 

The turn signal switch has a spring-loaded nub that contacts the brass connection on the underside of the turn signal cam. Thoroughly cleaning it with a bit of steel wool is probably a good idea since you have everything apart.

It was shiny, no corrosion that I could see, so I wiped it off, applied some dielectric grease and got it back together. Everything seems to be working.

 

Good to know. The ring and contact were dirty enough in my car that the horn was intermittent.
