Title: turn signal switch
Post by: SR7188 on May 30, 2015, 10:11:48 PM
I recently discovered if you jiggled the turn signal lever my headlights would shut off. I ordered a new turn signal switch but it didn't come with the turn signal lever and I can't figure out how to get the old one out. Anyone do this before. Thanks

One of them you can just tug on and it comes out, the other one has wires inside and you will break it. Im about 75% sure its the turn signal lever that doesn't have any wires inside. There is a friction fitting designed to pop out rather then break.

I am good at building confidence, aren't i?

You're correct thank you sir. I tried pulling it out but it didn't want to come out I thought there might have been something holding it in there couple taps with a hammer and it popped right out.
