Re: 74' by Jabes...
My blinkers would not self cancel, my hazards would not flash. Electrical wise the blinker system was intact. The blinker cam was broken and I could see it flex through the port on column where the blinker arm inserts. I was going to purchase a whole new blinker assembly about $35-$50, depending on where it was purchased from. I happened to be in Autozone and noticed in the "Oops" section they had just the cams themselves. They came two to a box for different years and all for around $8. I also noticed they had bushing and pin kits to repair the hinges on the doors which Ill be getting to shortly as well. Using a puller, I removed the steering wheel hub, next using another puller, depress the column lock and pull out the circlip retaining the column lock.
![]() This piece of plastic is 39 years old at least. The top portion is what I am replacing, the rest of it was still good. I had already removed the centering springs in this picture along with the blinker arm. ![]() Old cam and new cam. The contacts themselves are transferred to the new cam. ![]() I cleaned up the contacts with a rag, acetone and cotton swabs. The contact were full of 39 years of dust, grime and old contact grease. ![]() Contacts cleaned and transferred. ![]() Cam installed along with centering pins and blinker arm. Later down the road, I'm going to pull the column, refinish the exterior and add a billet kit to it. ![]() This green piece is what makes contact with the horn button. Mine is worn out and is the reason, why my horn isn't working. I'm going to have to order a new one. On top of this piece will be the column lock, circlip retaining pin and so on... ![]() Finishing up for the day... ![]()
