little spring lost

[gee]

I just finished installing a new cd receiver in my 99 accord, but in the process, i lost the emergency signal button's little spring (next to clock), which makes the button pop back up when u push it in. So now, once i push it in, it stays in, and if i dont want emergency lights flashing forever, i have to take out the clock/signal module, and manually push the button back up...

Does anyone have an idea of where i can get that spring?? I have a Honda dealer where I live, but they might end up charging me like 10 bucks... haha. I'm gonna ask them this week, but are there any other places I can get it? Or does anyone have the size/width of the spring on them? Maybe i can get a spring of the same size at home depot or something....

Much thanks,
Gee

Why don't you try a junk yard. They would probably be a whole lot cheaper.

because new parts are fun!

Id check the price of it there first, if its more than ya wanna pay, head to a jyard (if you have a local one...I dont so I always get new stuff)

definatly junkyard first, then online, then honda.

BUT, I don't know what the spring looks like, but try gutting a clicky pen and harvesting its spring. those springs have saved me from many a problem. just cut it to length.

BTW: this pen solution works wonders for worn out door dome light switches.
