RT turn signal switch

[Dudley]

After reading several posts about the turn signal not working as it should...going crazy when trying to cancel, I tried something and it works.
First, I sprayed the inside with some contact spray. The left turn position seemed easy, but the right position felt really rough and restricted. I then sprayed the inside with an oil spray. Both left and right positions are now smooth as silk and the cancellation is just a slight push and "zingo"...cancelled.

I haven't had the switch apart yet but is there anyway to get dielectric grease in the switch? :dontknow:

​I just use the little "straw" on the can, moved the switch lever to one side and sprayed. Didn't use grease, just an oil spray.

What kind of oil spray did you use ? I have the same issue the switch worked fine before winter storage now after winter storage the switch sticks when turning the left signal on

Thanks

Radio shack make 2 one with lubricant and the othe without . Do not use regular oil as it will gum up

I will wait to see what happens. Oil often deteriorates plastic.

There must be some type of spray that is safe and recommended?

Di-electric " Grease " is not grease in the sense you are probably thinking ( like automotive ). It would probably be OK as a lubricant...But I would use pure " Silicone " spray, I don't think any petrochemicals are used in it.....Mike.....:thumbup:

I agree with NancysToy that oil will deteriorate plastic I am going to check out the Radio Shack contact cleaner with lubricant and also Dudley's suggestion Starrett M1 Lubricant.

I have some silicone spray and I will try that too.

Thanks for everyone's help

If I cannot find a solution I will taking the spyder back to dealer as it is still under warranty.
