Hey Ron, thanks for this video. I followed step by step and I have front blinkers now. The horn wire re-route advice is 100% on point. Thanks again man!
My '65 Corvair is very similar. My problem was with one of the metal contacts at 4:50. Requires care when bending as not to bend another part of the brass contact.
Nicely shown and narrated. May not have all the needed instruction. But having to mix a red and black cable on the soldering segment for demonstration is ok. But never mix the two polarities.But never implied. There is other ways to replace the vent, one very costly as you shown.Also the trick to get it out was not shown. The other much less expensive. Of course if doing the vent. The window and seals should be done also since apart. But over all nicely done.
It has been a long time so can't tell you exactly. However, my recollection is that the spring connector for the front right did not connect (spring touch post) as it should when switch moved to the right turn position. I had the same issue as you did that a brand new switch did the exact same thing requiring surgery!
I’m haveing issues with clips need to bend them but. What’s best way. Both signals work but no break lights after my attempt bending before I had break lights and one blinker for rear worked other would make flashing lights
It has been a while but I am pretty sure I just used needle nose pliers. Locate tabs for brake lights. Make sure they make contact when the turn signal switch is in the neutral position and break contact when the turn signal is on. When turn signal is on the turn signal (left or right) tab should engage and the brake tab for that side disengage.
It has been a while so I do not recall exactly. Bottom line I looked at which spring bar made the contact for front right by tracing wires, and adjusted so it would stay off when switch not on and stay closed when switch on.
Ya didn't show the only part I'm having trouble with..getting the switch assembly off the shaft after removing the 3 philips screw..mine is stuck like something else is holding it..
I am guessing maybe the wires are holding you back. Check out Lugnutz65 blog for very detailed disassembly. lugnutz65chevystepside.weebly.com/1963-chevy-c10-steering-column-disassembly.html
@@ron12april We got it out..Corvairs have a snap wire holding the lock in...it's like a snap ring but is just a stiff wire ring in a groove..very hard to see cuz it's recessed and there is grease on it from the bearing and I'm guessing other Chevys don't have it..
Well I’ll ask you on here. So my 66 c10 front blinkers are not working but the rear are. They are plugged in is there a switch or solenoid that could be bad anywhere?
The only switch is the turn signal switch on the steering column. My issue was only on one side but the really unusual thing is the brand new replacement switch was bad too. As the video describes it took a little tweaking of the metal tabs to get things working properly.
I’ve replaced the exact same things for my 70 Chevy step side recently. Bad luck with the new turn signal switches. I’ve bought from 2 different vendors. All crap. Not sure what to do. I have no lights and no turn signals as of last night. Cheap China crapola.
I agree about the quality of the replacement switch. Probably all from same manufacturer regardless of vendor. Only solution is to bend the metal strips so they function properly.
