The only issue with the new switch is that it has a newer looking round hazard knob in stead of the old red lever. They also have an adapter that fits the u shape plug as the switch is more universal now.

I will say that the shifter is much smoother as well now as I was able to grease everything while putting it back. I am glad I spent the time. There was a good youtube video that I found that walked me though the process of changing it out.

Let me know if you have any questions. If you are in Pearland you really are not that far from me.

That is what I am thinking as well. I hope to have the turn signal switch diagnosed properly this evening.
I get off work at 6:00, home by 6:20, have baseball at 7:15 tonight.

So, have @ 15-20 minutes to check signal switch.
If not tonight, definitely tomorrow (and my new switch should be here today/tomorrow as well), but Id like to test old one (now that I have been given info on how to test it) so I can compare notes with new one.

But I have taken every single light/lamp, and gone directly to them and tested them, and they work (correctly wired up).

So we'll see soon enough.
