They come apart, they go together. Why do you think you might need to replace them?

Just spitballing here….

look here in the HD classifieds for stock take offs. Folks swap out the OEM for lighted switch packs all the time.

All the used ones I’ve seen advertised on eBay are over priced.

Good Luck

id consider the lighted switches but they don’t have them for my bike yet. I will likely have to bite the bullet on an eBay switch; bike going into storage in a couple weeks.

I take it the ribbon wire pulled out?
Re-pin it, someone put it in there, you could too.
Did you try?

Thanks. It’s definitely torn. Glue is holding down the piece it tore from. I think this one is done.

Thanks everyone for your input. I ended up ordering it from my local Harley dealer, 170 bucks brand new. Sucks but kind of in a rush. There was one on eBay for 100 bucks, it showed the right part number, but he emailed me an hour later saying that it won’t work and the wrong part number was shown. .
