Re: Finally building my 64 Comet

The switch that activates the turn signals is in the steering column. Once you remove the steering wheel you’ll see it. The harness goes through the column and exits under the dash area on the left side of the column. Joe Thank you very much joe! I would have spent all day searching under the dash ...
