what do you mean column switch?

MYBAD66 · 07-26-2014, 11:13 PM

the signal switch in the column all wires are spliced and its just a mess that I think a new start on it would be better than redoing someones mess...i've heard 70's or 80's van columns will work but the shaft is a tad bigger? but the wiring harness will plug right in and

why not just change the turn signal harness and the harness down to the main harness, bet its easier then a complete swap. i keep it oem cuz murphys law runs my life...post some pics, maybe forum members can find an easier solution

the turn signal setup has its harness that connect to the rest of the main harness. if you have a spare harness you can just swap wiring, and replace the turn signal part with a new setup round $60 with the upper shaft bearing...
