Anybody know where to get a new Multi Function switch (the turn signal dimmer) besides the dealer. My buddy needs one for his 1997 dodge 1500.

 

Have you tried an autoparts store?

 

autozone. $42.

 

Yep, Bought mine at Oreilly's. You'll also need the torx bits with the hole in them. I already had a set. can't remember the name at the moment but a standard torx won't work.

 

tamper proof torx

 

autozone $9 for a kit of various sizes including the one you need.
the screws you will take out are VERY long, and your wrench space is tight, and it takes a long time to get them out. replace them with either regular torx or allen head. you will need 2 or 3, i think 4mm, about 3/4 - 1 inch long.

TIP.. while you are there, if you want to disable the door open/key in switch dinging, unplug the little 2 wire connector to the ignition switch.
