Does anybody on the forum repair/rebuild hazard light switches? Mine does some weird things with the blinkers. Works, doesn't work, wiggle and the blinkers don't work. Wiggle again the blinkers work. Trying to avoid buying a new one. Thanks, Ben.

Do you have any as early as 3-69 to 9-69 in restored state ?
- I have Fully Restored switches
- I have NOS switches
- I have both with or without a NOS or a Restored Knob
- sounds like you have a broken or partially Pull Stalk in the Phonic Sliding Box , common issue

The first one you linked is what I need. The red knob. I did not realize it was on your site. I can order from there. Thanks.

Just a follow up on hazard switch repair: ToyotaMatt is the man for switch repair. I sent it to him fast, he checked it out and repaired it fast and sent it back fast. He's got an overnight service with shipping that is very good. If you need repairs fast he can get it done. Matt send me photos of the repair so I could visually see what was wrong with my switch. Excellent service, fast service. Worth the money. Highly recommend ToyotaMatt for switch repair and many other hard to find Teq parts for land cruiser.
Thanks Matt.
Ben.

Hey Matt, sorry for the reply to an old thread, but I was wondering what a broken pull stock is and what it causes. My hazard switch on my 1973 FJ40 was working for hazards but my blinkers were not working. I took my switch apart and everything looks good but a tiny piece of broken plastic fell out. I think it was what kept the pull lever from spinning because now mine just spins around and now the switch doesn’t work at all. No hazards or anything.- I have Fully Restored switches
- I have NOS switches
- I have both with or without a NOS or a Restored Knob
- sounds like you have a broken or partially Pull Stalk in the Phonic Sliding Box , common issue
Any response from @ToyotaMatt ? I have a 1981 and have some issues with my wipers moving slowly as well as my Hazzard light switch. Thanks, Bernard
I've been dealing with similar gremlins on my 79 that had been sitting for years and abused before that.
What I have found is any bad connection (dirty, corroded, caked with old grease) can cause intermittent or slow operation of that circuit.
Almost all of my switches I have taken apart, cleaned and reassembled using dielectric grease. Lots of small, spring-loaded parts so observe how everything fits and don't lose any bits in the process. And easy with the housing tabs so you don't break them.
Wiper motor slowness can be attributed to any poor contact in the circuit, including the switch, wiring connectors and contacts in the motor assembly itself. Not a hard job to take it apart, clean lube and reassemble.
Also, check to make sure you have good grounds on whatever circuit you're working on. A corroded or missing ground can create similar symptoms.
Anyway, if you're up for the challenge and don't need new, DIY has worked for me.

Thanks, I'll give it go. What's the worst that can happen, I'll just have to buy a new switch. Thanks for the tips on DIY, much appreciated.
