I MUST HAVE THIS BY SATURDAY!Will pay whetever, but must have it here in my hands by saturday morning!NILES 14509 is the part number on the switch.It is the entire moving arm that houses the turn signal controlls and headlight controlls.

They will not let me in to the race thisweekend without working headlights and turn signals, and my switch is broken!

This brings up a good point. For years I have owned a 1990 Mazda B2600i 4X4, and needless to say... parts get hosed after 200,000 miles and little things (like the combination switch for the headlights and directionals) need to be replaced for cheap. The truck is older than dirt and I refuse to pay dealer prices for brand new parts. Also... it's a VERY rare truck so finding parts in junkyards is nearly impossible.

I found a GOLDMINE of sorts out in California. It's a Mazda graveyard that collects and parts- out ONLY Mazda vehicles. They actively search the entire US for junked Mazdas of all types an bring them in. Anyway... they sell parts at HUGE discounts compared to dealers... and even less than your typical junkyard.

My point is... someone should do the same for Nissan vehicles. It would be nice to have one 'goto source' for any and all used parts for any and all US Nissan vehicles.

sorry mang.... i tried 8 different dealers around me.... no dice... they all have to special order that peice... and they have a part number that is different from what you have.. I asked for a base switch.. I didn't know what you wanted....it is 2554070F75...

I'm thinking... if your switch is broken??? cnouldn't you rig it up somehow to make it work??? like put a cheap switch on it so it would turn on and off for the moment untill you get it in??? I'm sure there is a way to do that... just take the switch apart and follow the wires and see which you need to connect to make it work and just throw 3 switches in there from radio shack or something.... and bada bing you got your headlights and turn signals working for temp.....

I can call around first thing in the morning for ya and see if I can ship it out same day. Let me get your number so I can call you tomarro. Or call me in the morning 773-398-8052. I call the junk yards and then you can just pay for it with a credit card and I'll pick it up and fed ex it to ya if I find one.

Call around 9:00 cause I have to work tomaro so I can have enough time to pick it up and drop it off at the fedex place.

I have one for an SE, but I'm in Cali. I doubt I would be able to get it to you by Saturday. I don't have any time to ship it out and it's too late to ship it today.

Worst case scenario, you can try to find out in what manner the headlights and signals have to work. Or to be more clear, maybe it will pass as long as they work. Perhaps some switches can be temporarily mounted and wired up. Maybe check the wording of the rules. Loopholes are always fun.
