Turn/wiper/dimmer switch issue - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**HIGHWAY BY THE SEA** · 10-11-2022, 09:29 PM

I just put a new turn signal cam switch and ignition key switch in my 86 M1009 Blazer. The turn switch will not allow me to give a left signal because the rod hits the column housing when I attempt to do so. For some reason the wiper/dimmer switch seems bad or worn out somehow. I cannot seem to figure out exactly how this is removed and replaced.Can someone help me with this?

The dimmer switch is further down the column and is actuated by a rod making its way up to the turn switch. sounds like when you put it back together you missed the alignment of the 2 at the top. there is a piece that forms itself into the turn switch kinda shaped like a tear drop.

Thanks for the reply! I was able to figure it out and install everything perfectly.
