So I've finished my SIX and have started driving her. It feels so good...but gradually the switch started giving me issues.
It started with a sensitivity piece on having the headlights work on low beam. But I didn't care because I am not driving at night....yet. Next the self canceling isn't working but that is okay because I can do that part on my own. Then yesterday...now I can't get the right blinker to work at all. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) I need options here. I've emailed Bowlsby....let's see if I can get it repaired. Looking for ideas for a repair. I've never taken the clam shell off the column. I've searched for a thread on how, I'm nervous that crap is going to spring every where. Anyone have pics and a process of how to disassemble. I'm going to dive in on it this afternoon. (PNW time) Thanks |

I got into it and could see where there was a part worn and not working correctly. I removed the canceling spring, modified the broken part (small zip tie) and I am now back working but in self canceling mode.
Headlights work better too, but not perfect. Isn't there a way to use an older 911 switch and modify it using the SIX wiring to use as a replacement? Anyone have a loaner they would share with me while I work on getting mine repaired? or a RENTAL? I can't seem to get myself to park this thing while I am repairing it...rather drive (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) It has been 4 years! |
