Turn signal switch.

[Jaime]

Hello,

 

It seems that I need to replace my turn signal switch on my 88 5 speed. When I push the handle, up or down, it might work sometimes but mostly not. I can make it work sometimes if I wiggle the handle and then hold it when it works.

I've searched here without any luck. I got some luck on YouTube. My question is there a trick on getting the wires down the column . The videos I've seen show them cutting the old wires and then taping the new connector to the old wires. But it only goes so far then stops. After that they just ran the wires on the outside of the column. Is this the way to do it or is there some trick?

 

Oh by the way I haven't taken it apart yet. Just want to get some info before I do.

Don't cut it. Just attach a string or wire to the old one. Pull the string up the column. Tie to the new harness and pull back through. 

 

You also may have to loosen some part on the steering column

Thanks for the reply.

I just didn't know if there was a special trick to feed the wire thru.
