Turn Signal Switch
 

My turn signal switch is cracked right inside the steering wheel. Just enough so that when I turn right it will blink but I have to hold it. It don't click into place. How do I fix this?, and what piece do I need?
Thanks

go to dealership and get new turn switch assembly

Don't forget the adapter from flat to curved wire harness.the original is no longer available !

1970 K-10 292 Longbed stepside powersteering but manual brakes!Factory step bumper,Deluxe gauges no Tach 4 speed manual 1 out of 464 made with protectoplate intact.Its basic for a farm truck

You could go to the dealership or go aftermarket. For about $80 I was able to get all of the little anoying parts for my non-tilt auto column through LMC and Chevy Duty. That includes a new switch with adapter and harness (LMC).

Wouldn't I just need the Lever without tilt. 8.95 pg 111 number 11 in Winter Edition LMC. Isn't that cracked piece where you can see it cracked through the hole just a piece of the lever.

If you just need the plastic piece that the turn signal switch lever bolts too (called a turn signal cam), a auto parts store should have it. To replace it, simply yank out the horn button with your hands, and pull off the steering wheel. A steering wheel puller is pretty cheap, i paid about $4 for a Made in China one. Once you pull off the wheel, it is simple to take off the part and put a new one right in. Good luck!

My Daily-Driver: '72 Chevy LWB Custom/10. Rebuilt 350, 300 HP thanks to a few go-fast goodies. Ochre with a white top. Future plans include a frame off restoration, and maybe a blown 383.

...with the exception of the wiring harness attached to the cam (which is really called an "actuator" in most catalogs). The complete turn signal switch comes with the actuator, the springs, the flat connector spring strip, the harness, and the adapter if needed. Usually you can get them from $27 (LMC) to around $40 (Brothers).

You can get the actuator, which sounds like what you really need, but I don't think it comes with the springs (left and right) and the flat spring connector that is used to make the terminal connection. You can get the springs at any NAPA, but the actuator I couldn't find anywhere.

I'd just bite the bullet and either go the GM route, or call up LMC and order one from them for $26.95.

Good luck.

Hmm... you'd think a switch lever would be a lot more simple than that. But I guess not!
