Turn signal switch repairable?, Signal cancel broken Options

[tmc914]

Yes, this is the same pic used for my dash lamps post but if you look at the turn signal at the steering wheel section the spring part seems to be missing. Also the nubs the spring would hook onto are broken off. I ordered a new switch from AA but it does not look as beefy as existing turn signals. Is it worth getting an old assembly with all working parts and clean up or is there a better new one than the $65.00 one I bought.

Well, I'm finally jumping into the same subject and I feel like I've read everything here on the subject but now that I've removed the switches some things are clear and some things are not.

I'll just throw this out this way:
Here's my original switches:




Here's my replacement switches:




74 with the intermittent relay and I've just added an electric washer pump that I'd like to hook up here as well - although I have an alternative method that will work if it's not going to be plug and play with the new switches.

Here's what I think I have to do - at least on the wiper/washer side:
Use the white plastic wire guide from the old switch on the new one and just get the red wire wire fished through on it's own. I believe (I haven't checked my notes) that this is the hot(+) wire for the washer pump.

As to the turn signal switch, I'm not quite sure what to do as the original has 9 wires (with 6 on the "bottom" and 3 on the "top") and the new switch only has the 6 on the bottom with the 3 on top being empty.

Do I have a chance in hell of having this be correct or do I have the wrong turn signal switch?

Big thanks for the input - I know there's lots of info out there but every situation seems to be a bit different.
