Electric seat switch block replacement?

[Millenium7]

Possible to get this? Some of the positions don't work very well, Ive removed the switchblock and can't find any part numbers. And the actual switches themselves are marked 2z10 but they aren't like any other switches ive seen hence can't find a replacement. But if anyone knows how to get either the block or just the switches so I can solder on new ones (these ones are half burnt out) I'll go that route

Certainly not from MMAL, but you may be able to find them online.

You wouldn't have a hard or expensive time replacing the entire switch block.

If I can source a switch block yes, its easy to replace. Sourcing one is not so easy. I looked around online, couldn't find anything. Seems like i'd have a buy a whole seat which is rather self defeating as its likely an old switchblock anyway

For now I did manage to separate the switch blocks, clean with contact cleaner and a brass brush and reassemble them. It is possible to do this but its pretty fiddly, need tweezers. For anyone else the way I did it is put the brass contacts back in their position (the curled over end goes over the soldered ball so it rocks back n forth). Then you place the ball bearing on top of the brass contact in the middle (but off to the side that is supposed to rest down). Do this for both contacts. Then put some grease on the thicker spring and insert it into the white plastic slider to held it stay in there, install it into the top cover and compress the thinner spring in until it sits in the top cover, do both of those. Now flip the top cover over and hopefully the springs and everything stay in place, line it up over the switch block and press down fairly quickly otherwise the ball will tend to bugger off to the side. The thinner spray may get caught in which case you can gently pry the top cover back off then use a thin poker in the gap to compress the spring and release it and it should move into its positioning rather than getting caught between the top and bottom covers

My switches didn't feel quite the same after doing this, presumably the thin spring is not sitting exactly where its supposed to but bugger me if I can figure out any other way to assemble them by hand. There's a shorter throw and they don't quite compress all the way, but they work. Fortunately I had zero springs go flying so it wasn't particularly painful, took me about an hour all up
