Wimpy Turn Signal Switch

About 5 minutes I had the wires thru the column. just used a single pc of stiff wire to push thru first ,taped to the wires & it's easy peasy. for me it wasn't tedious at all.

Usually a few NOS switches on ebay ,but expensive, here are a few;

Once you remove the pins from the connector it can be a little tight getting them all back up through the small trough. Staggering the pins to make less bulk does make it easier. I prefer to just replace the plastic piece first as it is much simpler step.

I have replaced two complete switches from Mac's and Dearborn. they are not very well made and certainly will not last as a NOS. I did find a different looking switch from Restoration Parts Source for about the same price but looks to be from a different manufacture. Might give them a try but this time I am going to inspect/test and repair or modify as necessary to make sure the dang thing will perform and last as it should. Wish I could find a NOS part.

Putting in the new switch is easy if you just run one wire at a time through the column

Is it just me or does the 65 Mustang switch with two horn buttons look just like the 64 switch. The 65 has an alternator but I don't see what difference that makes and the 65 is less than half the price of the 64, what gives? Anyone know what the difference is and why wouldn't they interchange?

[poboyjo65]

I wasn't even thinking about 64's being different than 65s. But now that you mentioned it I think I did see 2 different switches at one site,& one said for generator cars. sorry for the confusion.

No problem, I still don't see why they won't interchange.
