Crazy K Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 OUCH that Soooo hurt my eyes! if thats your new one, then it don't need fixing! on both the square column and round column style, you can pop off the part that moves when you move the wand. I had to press the pot metal pivot out, and then the part that moves comes right off. Polish all the contacts with a pencil eraser, tweek the springy ones to apply a bit more pressure, and slime them with grease. snap it all back together and you're ready to go!

DiscoStudd Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 For as much trouble that you have to go through to get to the switch, why the hell not just change it out? Unless you're a glutton for punishment . Before we begin' date=' you need to purchase a new signal switch, right? Here are the part numbers from GMPartsDirect.com With RSWC 19005032 - $46.34 Without RSWC 19005031 - $34.20[/quote'] I've seen the "Cam" replacement kit that they sell and to me it's not worth replacing. I actually bought that kit to net the cancelling springs when one broke on my old GP (explained in my write-up.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy K Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 I enjoy punishment! I'm such a glutton p.s. And the ones I have fixed all still work great! I think if GM had taken more care to lubricate this switch, as well as several others I rebuild myself by the same method, they would virtually last forever. -ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiscoStudd Posted December 3, 2005 Report Share Posted December 3, 2005 What the hell was "Snirket City" doing fucking around with the wires along the steering column while installing a car stereo? They had no business near those wires, especially when all you need to connect up an aftermarket stereo to a Lumina is a reverse harness and an antenna adapter . I could see if they installed a remote start system that they'd need to mess with the wires in that vicinity (the ignition switch is close by) but for just a stereo, no way...

Lee Posted December 4, 2005 Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 One question....why do so many people think that only GM dealerships can help them. There are plenty of owner shops that have intelligent workers for much cheaper.....you just have to shop around and ask around. I've had several adventures with my Regal and found two shops that are very very competant. Moreso than a dealer I'd say. Mr. Goodwrench is usually either incompetant or a major dickhead.
