New turn signal switch

Post by pasty63 »

After chasing the circuits on my turn signals/brake lights, I pulled the steering wheel and found the turn signal switch in bad shape. The po had cobbled on one of the $12 specials and the contacts were shakey at best. I have to recommend the Shee-Mar (Longmont, CO) SM41F for the 67-72 trucks. It comes complete with the pin the stalk screws into and the sleeve for the horn contact. The po had to hack the wiring at the plug, but the SM harness is complete down to the pins - very clean install. I'll get some pics up tomorrow, now that the camera has come back from spring break :)

I just had my local parts store order it for me. I buy a lot of used stuff off the web - but my machine shop and parts guys give me such great service and expertise I want to make sure there's something in it for them.

Have used this manufacturer's switch. They make an excellent product. Even the color of wires is very close. I think only one wire was a different color.
