Subject: IML: 67 turn signals
Date: Wed, 13 Apr 2005 20:42:33 -0700
Hi all,
I need some help; I lost the brake lights on my 67 Lebaron two days
ago. I have 12 v from the batt buss to and thru the brake light switch at
the pedal under the dash, I followed the white wire from the brake light
switch to the connector going into the steering column and have 12 v there
as I should when the brake pedal is depressed. Both left and right blinkers
work fine as well as the running lights on the back of the car. This leads
me to the unpleast conclusion the I have a bad turnsignal switch (Ihave the
tilt/telescopic wheel) . I called all the auto parts stores without any
luck of course and a couple of souces I found on the web, no luck, the nice
lady shee-mar (business that specializes in hard to find turn signal
switches) told me they had none and could not get any more, but had they
carried them longer than anybody else, and had no recommendations on where
to go from there, unless one pops up on ebay.this is more of an achlies
heel than even the 67-8 brakes. I will not drive a car w/out brake lights.
Does anybody have any experience with repairing this switch or is there
another one for a different car that can be made to fit with some
modification or use some parts out fo them? Any help would be appreciated
as we had a rash of auto brakedowns this last week and we are down to 1 car
(the wipers on my other imp and pick-up quit last week and have so far
defied repair (my wife must take me to and from work in addition to herself
). Any advice or knowledge would be appreciated, thanks, mike Becker
