Default 86 Switches

Hi Guys, having some trouble finding some switches and was hoping someone has some info on them. The first one is the Driving light switch. The first time I tried to turn it on, it broke internally and my driving lights are no on all the time. The second ones are the sport seat switches. I need the recline switch and the one that makes the back move in and out. Anybody got a line on them? The only ones I can find are used on E-bay. I would rather have new ones.

I doubt that you could find a new fog light switch. The stock on parts like this was used up years ago. The part number is: 14066536 Switch, fog lamp.

Well, I guess a good used one will have to do then...


Thanks Cliff.

Try some contact cleaner in the inoperable switches if you know the internals are ok. Many can be revived by cleaning them up. I took apart my wiper switch, cleaned it up and it works perfectly now. The switches you are talking about probly cant be opened but they can be cleaned.

Good luck!

The driving light switch was broken internally. I'll give the seat switches a shot. Couldn't hurt.

Thanks
