I cleaned and re-installed the hazard switch in my 83 300SD. The switch didn't seem very dirty or corroded at all, but I still used a pencil eraser on the contacts and an eensy dab of dielectric grease on each as well.
My problem still exists...when I use the turn signals or the hazard, the arrows in the cluster light up, the exterior lights also light, but neither "blink".
There's a chance things inside the switch slipped during re-assembly, so I can re-check that. I'm waiting on (and losing hope) a replacement from the PO.
Other than replacing this switch (which I'm happy to spend $ on if it fixes my problem, I've found some around $10 on eBay if I can't locate one from my one local PAP), are there any other ideas as to what causes this? All my research said to replace the switch...but since the one I took apart *looked* to be in decent shape, and cleaning didn't seem to fix it, I'm wondering about other possible causes.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
