MikeW Posted June 26, 2006 Share #2 Posted June 26, 2006 I notice in the Black Dragon catalog they list one model for 70/71 and another for 72/73. I'm not sure why but WOW - they've sure gone up in price:http://www.blackdragonauto.com/icatalog/z/0115.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zack_280 Posted June 26, 2006 Share #4 Posted June 26, 2006 When you say 'broke' do you mean physically broken or electrically broken? If it just isn't working any more, but is still in tact, you may want to try cleaning off the contacts. If it is broken, well I have a '70 240 and I installed a different switch. Not sure if it was a '72 or not, but the angle was slightly different (now it sometimes bumps my leg while I am driving). Other than the annoying angle the different switch works fine.

andrewg3300 Posted June 26, 2006 Author Share #5 Posted June 26, 2006 Yeah it is def broke. Its the white plastic piece that is hooked to the rod that is broke. I have tried to repair it with glue but it didnt work.I think my baby girl pulled down on it too far when she wasplaying in there. Lesson Learned. Never let your Kidstrash you r car. thanks for the help. I will prolly buy it and try it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arne Posted June 26, 2006 Share #6 Posted June 26, 2006 I'm pretty certain that the connectors for the '71 switch are not the same as for the '73. You may be able to get it to work if you re-wire things a little, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EScanlon Posted June 26, 2006 Share #7 Posted June 26, 2006 OR Cannibalize the 73 switch for the parts you need to repair the 71.E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nwcubsman Posted June 26, 2006 Share #8 Posted June 26, 2006 Since my dash is out, I thought I'd post the connectors to suppliment Arne's reply. 1 bullet connector, 2 spade style connections Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a7dz Posted June 26, 2006 Share #9 Posted June 26, 2006 My 70 is the same as the one Bryan posted. the difference is the wire colors do not match but, the function is the same. The ground wire going from the turn switch to the combo switch is red instead of black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arne Posted June 26, 2006 Share #11 Posted June 26, 2006 Looks like I may have bad info. It now looks as if it might work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
