Hugh Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 I got pulled over today for not using my turn signal. The cop gave me a ticket for broken turn signals, no proof of insurance (I am insured, I assure you I had the card for my old car, and the company never sent me a new one for this car) He also ticketed me for having no license because I've been driving on my out-of-state license. :| Anyway, my blinker switch is broken, and I've been having trouble finding a replacement. (its also not so high on the priorities list until now) I need to fix this before I can get that signed off on and reduce my fines. Anyone have a source or a good one laying around?

pete280z Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 These things show up on ebay pretty regularly. I've picked up a couple of blinker and combo switches that way over the last year. Just be careful to get the right switch. The design changed over the years, and they aren't always straight plug-in swaps, no matter what the seller says.

jaime240z Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 Have you tried zcarparts.com They're in Orange, so if they have one in stock it should get to you pretty quick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2126 Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 I purchased a new switch assembly from Courtesy Nissan in Texas. It was about $90.00 Amazing these units are still available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottie-GNZ Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 I have a complete unit, turn signal, headlights, etc and it is the last piece I have from the GNZ . The turn signal stalk is slightly bent down from it hooking into my jacket but everything works perfectly. Email or PM me if interested. It will be cheap.

DaleMX Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 Oops, just checked, they dont have them listed for the 240's. And I meant Advanced Auto, not Autozone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone promised to buy it a while but I never heard back from him. It then got buried in the crapload of Z32 parts I have and I found it yesterday and then saw this post.

Hugh Posted January 25, 2005 Author Share Posted January 25, 2005 Scottie, you freaking rock, dude! I got your package, quick as hell. I didn't know the switches were supposed to click so well... mine are so worn out it just kinda slides into place. The one you sent me is like click click click! Well... I've got a project for tomorrow afternoon, now. I will go install this and pray the wiring is good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruxGNZ Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 They click? No way... Mine have always kind of pushed into place with no sound what so ever, even when it worked. !M! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugh Posted January 25, 2005 Author Share Posted January 25, 2005 They actually click! You should've seen me trying to get them to work when the cop asked me. It was pretty embarassing. I'll get them working today and hopefully get this thing signed off at the po-po station. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Posted January 26, 2005 Author Share Posted January 26, 2005 I installed the switch today, everything worked except the right rear blinker. Turns out the guy had a "custom" wire for that one. I went ahead and hooked it up as he intended, and all is well! I'm loving having blinkers that work. This is great. Thanks again, Scott!
