The old switch has, what looks to me like brass rivets. The new switch uses silvery (zinc plated?) rivets. These rivets appeared to be properly installed, however they did not make a good electrical connection to the ring eyelets, causing heat which had melted the white plastic switch mechanism."

If you're using the "LED Plasma System" then this switch is perfect.

The switch is well built and the wires are correctly color coded. The only draw back was that I had to splice in the original key buzzer switch. The new one would not fit in the key tumbler and the wire was too short.

I had a broken turn signal switch. I bought this replacement. Now 2 years later I get my car on the road and I notice that when the door is open, the door buzzer, buzzes. Removing the key used to silence the buzzer. So to keep it short, the issue was the turn switch. Well kinda.



Part of the turn signal switch is a wire that connects to the ignition switch (to detect the key). That wire is held in place by a white plastic piece that fits inside a little pocket in the steering column.



Look at the contact that is supposed to touch the ignition switch. If it gets bent via shipping or mishandling, it can touch the steering column pocket instead of the ignition switch. Since the steering column is grounded it acts like the key is present even when it isn't. Simply bend the contact back to the center of the pocket and you should be good to go.



Good Luck,
