Combination switch imprecise in cold weather
My 2000 Accord's combination switch is iffy in cold weather. The left
(light) stalk is fine, but on the right stalk I have to fish around to find the right spot to get the wipers going. It's just the twist action -- the "mist" and washer fluid functions work fine. Once the car warms up, there's no problem. What's going on here? I had a similar problem on my 87 Accord some years back and replaced the whole combination switch. Manageable enough a job, but there was no airbag to contend with on that car... |

Turn signals, wiper - they would somtimes take a minute to react - not very useful for signalling a turn. Carefully dismantled the switch, added some vaseline and now all is fine. |
