It seems like I will need to remove the steering wheel to gain access to the turn signal switch. Is that correct?

I want to check all of the electrical connections and clean it up to see if I need a new one or not.

Any advice on how best to do this is appreciated.

Thanks!

A hub puller later and the wheel is off. My turn switch seems to be faulty, as it likes to emit smoke. Ugh!

I looked at the switch and it seems to be hard wired. What's the best way to swap out the switch with a new/used/working one?

According to the green manual, the wires are disconnected from the switch by "pulling straight down".

Good luck,

Hello,

Up until recently, good used was the only inexpensive option, with new old stock units garnering over $200.00.

CVI has had them reproduced for what I think is a reasonable price and for the first time I will say, "Unfortunately, I do NOT have one in stock".

I installed the 1800 version recently and it looked and acted just like the original.

Thanks Barry and Eric.

I am trying to get my hands on a used one. The issue is clearly in the switch, evidenced by the smoke coming from it =)

Needless to say, it's hand signals for a while.

Wish me fun.

The switch in my 1968 122 was replaced with one from a 164 many years ago. Maybe that would be easier to find.
