Nice. I have done that with a few I have replaced at work so I have good test units.

The switch covers are a PITA to get off without breaking the swtich. I caught one to the eye when it popped off. lol

So what did you do to fix it?
Just re-solder all the points on the circuit board?
Or is there more to it?

I used a interior panel clip removal tool on both sides at the same time. They just snap off. You have to apply even pressure on both sides at the same time.

That's it. Just refresh the solder joint in front of the window lock switch.

While inspecting my latest purchase (1986 Comanche X 2.8l) I discovered a broken passenger side exhaust manifold. Searching for a replacement has been mind boggling. Found several new drivers side but none for passenger.I am also contemplating trading edelbrock torker intake set up for stock 2bbl.

New toolbox so I'm not spending all day looking for tools while I work on her.

Also went to change the front u-joints and wheelbearings and found my emergency spare bearing is the wrong one...offset and stud length is different (came off a TJ).

99+ bearings were different. The studs were longer and the offset was different by a few millimeters.
