turn signals '59 Imp.

["jsadowski" <jsadowski@xxxxxxx>]

If this works the way the 60 does, there is a secondary switch down low on the steering column. When I got my 60, one of the wires on that secondary switch was barly attached & sometimes the the lever would stay & sometimes not. I replaced the switch & all is well now. I believe there is a magnet of some sort in the switch & when the steering wheel is making its return to center, the secondary switch interupts the magnet & shuts the signal off.At all other times, there would by power at the lever & the magnet should keep the signal activated.

Subject: IML: turn signals '59 Imp.

I got my '59 Imperial in December, 2001, and it has the exact same problem
you mention, and there was even a note from the previous owners once removed
in the glove box, stating the cars idiosyncrasies, and this was one of them.
Do other '59 owners out there on the list have this same problem? Maybe this
is how they are supposed to work, but I find myself becoming lazy, and not
using my left turn signal, since I have to sit there at stoplights holding
the switch on.
