The headlights on my 280Z were not working, so I did some investigation. I eventually discovered that the problem was in the indicator switch, which as you can see in the photo is an utter mess. The one on the right is what I pulled from the car, and the one on the left is the replacement part. I can't even begin to comprehend what the previous owner was thinking here. The ground wire is missing entirely, which is why the headlights would not turn on. Did he not realize that when he put this back together?
If I were to buy the part new, it would cost $450. Considering I paid $700 for the entire car, this is a ridiculous amount of money. Fortunately, I was able to source the part used for $35.
Also, some of the things that were removed by the previous owner include:
-Air conditioner compressor
-Both horns
-Fuel filter
