[DeTomaso] Best option for always-on hazard switch

[Mike Drew]

Steve,

1970s BMWs use the same switch. Plenty of them on eBay:

Pantera vendors carry them too of course:

I believe it was Jack DeRyke who said that the fault is caused by the body of the switch swelling, which can be cured by simply squeezing it back into shape with a hose clamp? I’ve never tried it though.  But if it functions electrically and the failure is purely mechanical, it’s worth a try?
