Genuine Parts D6262D Turn Signal Switch

My 1979 Jeep CJ7's electrics went haywire out of the blue. After a lot of usual fuses, wiring, connections fiddling, deeper and deeper wire chasing and hair pulling, teeth grinding, curse yelling frustration, I was beginning to despair. Frantically viewing websites, shop manuals and Youtube videos I stumble on a video showing this part existed, no idea it was available, never looked for it (was beginning to think about rewiring whole Jeep)... worth a try, what the hell.Jeep used GM steering columns which is rather handy at this remove, GM built a few more vehicles than Jeep, so parts readily available.BINGO, it worked. A bit fiddly to remove old and replace with new, but if you're looking at this sort of thing you sort of know what you're doing or are at least willing to try and learn. It is just fiddly not really hard. You'll need all the tools for complete steering wheel/column removal/disassembly though, again, if you're looking at his, chances are you have them already.Build quality was, well, very nice initially. I did break a bit, but that has caused zero problems so far and everything fits perfectly. It is of superior quality to the indicator switch assembly I purchased from Autozone, just the little details, lube on the cam, quality of plastic itself and such. Examining both, this is far better.If your indicators/blinkers have gone haywire, taillights and other wiring acting weirdly with little apparent visible reason, this is worth a go.I have no idea why the original wiring failed after 45+ years, oh, there, that might be a reason you think?

Massive pita to install but that’s not their fault, that’s Chevy’s. The piece works perfect. The blinker shuts off now when returning the steering wheel to center. Installed on a 1987 K5 Blazer.

Easy to replace and it works great!

I installed this in an '88 XJ. It was constructed slightly differently than the original. Near the bottom the plastic is cast to be slightly larger than the original design, reducing clearances in the column shroud. Also there was a right angle hook to guide the wiring I had to snip off. The wiring essentially needs to exit the switch at a hard 90 so it can run down the column. In the pic finger indicates where the plastic wiring hook WAS.It does fit with minor modifications and it works. Be patient when test fitting.

Shipped fast

Product arrived quickly. I like ability to buy OEM parts because certain parts need to be OEM.RECOMMEND WATCHING You Tube video before trying install.

Works like it should

Thought it would be tough replacing this part but after seeing a couple videos on youtube on how to do it I decided to give it a shot. My left turn signal would not work unless you held it in a certain spot so I ordered this piece and dug in. Went to the local parts store to borrow a steering wheel puller to save cost. Took the steering wheel off and unbolted the steering column from under the dash. I looped a piece of spare wire around the connector so when I snaked the old switch out I could get the new one back through easier, worked like a charm. It went in without any issues. Plugged in the harness and put the parts back on. Works like it should. When I turn the right signal on it gives a good click to confirm but the left does not give the loud click but it does work. No more waiting at a light and having to hold the left blinker in a certain spot.
