Turn signal switch

Post by Rockcrusher »

The turn signal switch in my '69 committed suicide the other night and so far I haven't been able to find an aftermarket or repro replacement. Any suggestions on suppliers . . . Or will I be forced to use a junk yard replacement?

Dennis Carpenter ( http://www.dennis-carpenter.com/ ) has them.
They are pretty easy to install I had to replace the one on my '68F100.

I haven't pulled the steering wheel yet but I would guess that the whole switch mechanism went into rapid dissasembly mode. Thanks for the info.

Bought a replacement turn signal switch at local Carquest about $50. I understand that a firm in Colorado makes them. Direct replacement. Almost same wires. OEM Ford sold on eBay for between $10 and $20. Also have seen others between $30 and $45. See eBay Item number: 7935364697 ends 11/23/04.
