T500 blinker switch

Hello

The blinker switch in my T500 has always been on the vague side in terms of tactile feedback but it's gotten worse now.
So does anyone know of where I could possibly find a replacement switch to replace the internal switch without changing the whole switch body? Or has someone possibly replaced theirs with a commonly available slide switch

I had the same problem on my T500K and replaced the whole unit with another one off a later T500, perhaps M or L model. Slide switch was updated to a more reliable lever switch on them. You barely notice the difference visually.

Lots of corrosion/crap in your photo. Take the switch apart, contact cleaner, lube, resolder all the connections, reassemble?

I have been looking for a good one but they seem to be for sale rarely or very expensive

The problem isn't really bad connections it's mechanical wear in the switch making it very sloppy
