steering column turn signal cam thing - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

So, i ripped apart the column and got to where the turn signal cam is just hanging on by the wires. And there's not enough slack for me to tell if the wires are connected by connector or if they're hard connected in there.
Also, if anyone knows of any place that sells the cam assembly (not the canceling cam) send me the link plz!

BoeJaker1976 · 12-14-2008, 11:07 PM

thats it. hmmm...i was hoping that i wouldnt have to tear apart the column any farther... all i need to replace is the actual cam because where the lever attaches is starting to break... has anyone ever replaced one of these before and could possible offer some pointers?

Pulling this thread out of the woodwork hoping someone has pictures of this switch being replaced

I did mine a couple months ago.

I believe if you look up Gregski's thread, Restoring Rusty, he goes into detail about this.

Full step by step video of a steering column tear down.

Otherwise Google "c10 tilt steering column rebuild". The turn signal switch can be unplugged at the base of the column and the wires slid out without tearing the column down further.
