Re: Where does this small 'pin' go in the turn signal switch?...
not exactly sure I'm sure theres many people who will see and be able to tell you but when you lift up or pull down on the signal lever....works correctly? emergency flasher push in and stay in.... pull out and stays out...?
i just took mine off to put a new column on but didn't notice anything missing like your pin...hmm... sorry....i guess the only good thing i could do now is just say BUMP hopefully someone can help you brother ![]() |

Re: Where does this small 'pin' go in the turn signal switch?...
I took mine apart recently and didn't see anything like that in there. What is it made of, brass, steel, plastic? You may want to look at an exploded drawing of the column and see if you can identify it that way, LMC has some decent drawings in their catalog, I'm sure someone on here can point you towards an even better drawing. Good luck!

I have been busier than a cat on a hot tin roof today. Trying to get caught up from being gone for the last four days... ![]() As many of those as I have had apart I don't recall ever seeing a pin like that in any of them. So you are saying that everything works OK but you can't get the plate back in the housing? LockDoc

Do you have the hazard button pushed in when you try and put the switch in the housing? They can be a pain but they will go in. LockDoc

Re: Where does this small 'pin' go in the turn signal switch?...
very very easy fix...take off the signal lever and remove the turn camber carefully.
when you have it off, directly on top of the ''hazard'' switch you will see a very small hole more off center towards the shaft. she drops in that little hole. carefully reassemble and shes good to go.. wish i was at home so i could take a pic for you...

Re: Where does this small 'pin' go in the turn signal switch?...
Will this help you find the correct pin that you have ? And where it might fit in at?

Re: Where does this small 'pin' go in the turn signal switch?...
i had to do mine twice lucky i had another one to use. the easiest way to get it back into the housing is to put it in one piece at a time with out breaking it. it has some flexibility but what seems to help is to pus the flasher switch in and slowly put it in at an angle with the 3 screws unscrewed. the turn camber and flat springs should be the last thing to go on..

Re: Where does this small 'pin' go in the turn signal switch?...
Dang.
I got it all back together, it works. To turn the flashers off you gotta 'pull' the red thing out. Is that correct? I'll take it back apart and try to figure it outlater..ugh. Whats it do exactly? lol
