To many times the signal lights stop working or difficult because
- Slide switch is warped because of age or worn out
- Bowden Cable linkage is binding inside the column.
- The 90 degree lever Binds, braking the Directional Control Ring
A worn or warped slide switch will also cause intermittent brakes light/signal lights which will send you in many directions on repair. We have a simple and cheap solution. We remove the slide switch and Bowden cable and replace with micro switches rated a 1,000,000,000 pulls. These microswitches are activated when the directional control ring (inside the column) and moved left or right and activates the control box to signal the left or right signal. The wires from the column replace the Bowden cable and look like the original. The Control box replaces the slide switch and plugs into the factory 6 position connector. You will plug the “red” power wire into the fuse panel to a “switch-on” fuse.
Your Directional Control Ring (DCR) Core: Your DCR core will need to be unbroken. If you don’t have a core, a $40.00 core charge will apply. You will need to send us the DCR for your application (Car or FC) as they look similar, the angle of the turn handle is different. If you want your DCR modified, it may add a week to your order time.
Installation:
Remove the Steering Wheel to expose the inside of the column
Remove the Turn Signal Arm
Using Flat head screw driver, remove the directional control ring. Be careful not to lose the “lock washer” under the DCR screw. Also recover the DCR spring bushing on the spring end
Unplug and Remove the Slide switch from under the dash. After removing, place in right hand and throw as far as possible.
Remove the Bowden cable from the 90 degree lever inside the column. Note location of Bowden cable as wires will replace.
Install the new Control Box; Plug the 6 position connector into the control box with the connector towards the front of the vehicle.
FC: Place the Control Box into the slide switch slot and rotate the “hold-down” 90 degrees and tighten.
Cars: Place the control box on the shaft near the old position and use the worm clamp and tighten.
Bend the 90 degree lever where is will be out of the way. We recommend you drill out of the 4 brads at the top and remove the entire lever mechanism or “Dremmel” out the lever. During a recent install where the bending method was used, it allowed the cable to bind with the DCR and short the wire.
Install the replacement Directional Control Ring (DCR) by first fishing the wire down the path of the old Bowden cable and the path shown below in figure #2 The steering shaft mask collar will need to be loosened to allow enough room for the cable to fit down the opening. Install the Wire Block in the place of the metal Bowden cable hold-down and tighten with the screw provided. I small piece of shrink tube is on the end of the DCR wire to ease in fishing th
Run the wire from the Wire Hold-down and route as indicated in the figure #3 and #4. Place the Bolt into the DCR and insure the lock washer is on the bottom. This will keep the DCR from getting loose as it gets used. If you don’t have the lock washer, secure one.
Lightly screw the DCR to the column leaving it loose so that you can lift the DCR with bushing over the spring. After the bushing is on the opposite side of the spring, finish tightening the DCR bolt. Using wheel bearing grease will help hold the bushing and washer in place, but don’t use too much.
Insert the Turn signal arm and check operation for any binding and you will have a distinct LEFT, RIGHT and CENTER. If you don’t, stop at this point to find out. Your bushing may have fallen out of place or the spring may have fallen down. If something does not feel right or is binding, rinse and repeat.
At the bottom of the wire leading down the column, it has 2 female connectors that must be feed into the 2 pin connector. Push in as noted on Figure #3 and make sure the “Red” is on the red side. Connect the 2 pin female to the 2 pin male from the control box.
