For such a seemingly simple part, PNP switches can sure cause trouble for us 960 owners. I've got the flashing upshift and WSE lights again a couple of weeks after replacing a PNP switch with a 'slightly' or so I thought, used one. Now I have taken these things apart and they seem to be only a mechanism with sliding contacts and some wires coming out. If that is true, what actually goes wrong with them? I thought maybe it was just the grease inside them getting dirty and causing the contacts to lose… well, contact. But surely there is more to a PNP switch than that, isn't there? Anybody got some answers? I went ahead and ordered a new one from FCP Groton-$95. I'm getting tired of crawling under the car to replace them. So, what's in that mystry box?
