mjr45 Posted February 9, 2013 Share #1 Posted February 9, 2013 My right T/s quit and after posting a question got to work. First off 6-8 of the wires in the passenger side tunnel had come out of the connector and after multiple attempts at crimping wires for a new connector gave up and soldered them all(crimping wires to connectors is something I've never been able to do correctly, I've got about 6 crimping tools). After still no T/S attacked the switch which I've taken apart 3 times and the best I get is an intermittant right T/S so I know its in the switch. I'm a little leery about working on it again for fear of the little tabs breaking off and then what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madkaw Posted February 9, 2013 Share #2 Posted February 9, 2013 Sure it's not a grounding issue with the light assembly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjr45 Posted February 9, 2013 Author Share #3 Posted February 9, 2013 Yup no grounding issue, just checked and there was no continuity on the right post, took it apart again and adjusted the contact on the right, got continuity and as I was putting back together the bakelite board with the terminals broke in two. Guess I'll try to ?glue it back together or maybe its time to find another switch!!!! ****!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveJ Posted February 9, 2013 Share #4 Posted February 9, 2013 (edited) Look at this write up I did: Turn Signal Repair | Fiddling With Z CarsOtherwise, contact Dave to see about getting your turnsignal rebuilt. If you don't like that choice or he can't rebuild it, check back with me. I may have some suitable turn signals soon.Edit: Come to think about it, I may have some already, though I would want to clean & test before selling. Send me a PM.

mjr45 Posted February 10, 2013 Author Share #5 Posted February 10, 2013 (edited) Steve, what I need is the bake-lite board with the 3 wires that goes onto the turn signal switch, mine broke in two when I was putting it back together, if not that, then maybe just the turn signal switch, the rest of the unit is OK. Right now its holding with some super glue, but I don't expect it will hold very long. Thanks. Edited February 10, 2013 by mjr45 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveJ Posted February 10, 2013 Share #6 Posted February 10, 2013 Okay, I probably won't have a chance to look until tomorrow night. I am flying home tonight, and I don't think my wife would be thrilled for me to be playing with car parts when I first get back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjr45 Posted February 10, 2013 Author Share #7 Posted February 10, 2013 Steve, yup, not greeting the spouse in an appropriate manner could prove to be unhealthy for you! I e-mailed Dave and he is also going to look to see if he has a board that I can use. If you get a chance to look later this week that would be cool. Thanks.

SteveJ Posted February 10, 2013 Share #8 Posted February 10, 2013 I know I have one, but I haven't tested it. I won't sell an electrical component I haven't tested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjr45 Posted February 10, 2013 Author Share #9 Posted February 10, 2013 OK that sounds fine to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zs-ondabrain Posted February 12, 2013 Share #10 Posted February 12, 2013 I have exactly what you need, packaged up and ready to ship, but I need your address. You'll get a rebuilt switch box with a good PCB, wires attached, good sleeving and the 3 pin connector with the terminals cleaned.check your wildblue.net email and get back to me.Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjr45 Posted February 12, 2013 Author Share #11 Posted February 12, 2013 (edited) Thanks Dave, you've been a great help and a real life saver, thanks again. After looking thru your pages on CarDomain, I can only say I wish I had half your skill and expertise then I could start my next project (49 Chevy 3100 P/U) with confidence.
