    Hi all,
    I am having issues with my left switch gear indicator switch. They have been slow and intermittent lately. I asked my mechanic to have a look. He reported that the contacts in the switch are quite worn. I can't seem to find a replacement left switch gear online. Is there a way of reconditioning the interior so the indicators work. The other switches on the switch gear work fine.
    Thanks,
    Ventura01

    Have you tried cleaning them. A slight bend might help make good contact also, if you can get to it. (This is by your foot, yes?)

    I do not know what a "left switch gear indicator switch" is.

    Just about any Honda switch from that era is compatible, but it might take some re-pinning at the connector to match the colors to the wire harness.

    Is yours a 98/99 or 00/01?

    I've never had to replace one, just clean and relube them. Worth a look inside!

    I have, but it is rare. Nothing looked "bad", but no matter what I did, it was finicky.
