Default power seat switch replacement question (pic)

Hey all,
Here is a picture of one of my power seat switches. Does the entire switch need to be replaced here or can I just replace the contacts/rocker switch?

Swiftyzenbad is sending me a new complete switch with wiring but I was just curious if anyone had messed with replacing just the rocker before....thanks.



And heres a pic of the new sport seats, they are photographing red for some reason but they are black script seats, both power. Wish they were both manual sports but you can't have it all. Going to be recovered this winter in black leather - I dont like the script.

you can take off the top, but since my other one is broken im not sure how good that would work, theres some little bearings in there and other contact points,if the seat is already out, id just put the whole new switch in. if ya need pics i have a few.

Sam- Did you pop the rocker switch out like that? If so how did you do it? My switches have been acting up lately and I have been thinking about trying to take them apart and clean them up inside in hopes they will start working again.

see the two square holes, on the two sides, that pops of the top. but theres some crap inside that might fall out, as you can see in one of the pics, im now missing one ball. if your gonna clean up anything id check the the sodder(cant spell) and see if any of the wires need to be re-soddered(again cant spell)

Interesting, I think I will be replacing the entire switch then, thanks for the pictures Zen

potent - that is how the seat was delivered - already missing the rocker...

It seems your problem is too great to handle, those seats should be disposed of immedietly. Now give them to me.

So you will have an extra one after you fix your seat Dan? If so Ill take that as well. I just keep buying part by part

On one side (pictured above) the rocker is missing and that will be replaced with the switch courtesy of Swifty, but then on the pass side they both work but one of the rocker switches feels broken. Like it works but it takes finesse. Id like to replace it as well. So if you will have an extra, I will take it.

Thanks, the power of renn!
