Re: 66 turn signal

What's BTDT? Which part is the "switch"? I have the same problem on a '67.
Thanks

William,

It took me a bit to figure that out, but BTDT means "Been There, Done That".

Replace the switch. Not too difficult. If your current switch is original save the harness and arced connector, it should be black. The repops are brown.

Jay,

There is a arm that the lever attaches to and holds the switch on until the cam cancels it or you move the lever back. The end is broken and needs replacement. No need to replace the whole switch. Easy fix by removing the horn button, horn contact and then the steering wheel. Remove the screw holding the white plastic assembly and replace.

Re: 66 turn signal

Are you talking about the piece that looks like a half moon shape? I believe that is the only piece you can buy for the switch.

Re: 66 turn signal

Jay,

Yes, it's half shaped and the part number ends in 015. Tomorrow evening I'll be back at the shop and send you a pic and part number.

Re: 66 turn signal

Please send that pic and PN to this forum. Does the PN you're going to give apply to part I can buy from Paragon,etc. or from GM, etc.?
Thanks

Re: 66 turn signal

Is it available from the great vendor and restorer near Little Rock, AR?

Nudge nudge, wink wink.

Here's the delayed pics and part number. The pic of the switch on the right side is one of a 64-66 only and the left side is just to show that the ends of the actuator is broken off. 63's are one year only, 67-68's are one year only and 64-66 are what is pictured on the right.
The complete switch including wiring for 64-66 is part number 910821
The actuator is part number 5957015
The part number for the 63 switch is 3824116
The part number for 67-68 is 5698520

Re: 66 turn signal

Joe,
Are these PN's GM? Will a young Chevy parts counter guy know where to look and order or will he say. "My book doesn't go back that far."? What is the name of this part?
Thanks

Re: 66 turn signal

William,

These are GM part numbers BUT the 67 has long been discontinued. Look to Corvette Central, Long Island or Corvette America for the 1967 Turn Signal Switch.

Re: 66 turn signal

Think I erased my intended "reply." Do I have to buy the entire switch for my '67 to get a good actuator. Can the actuator be separated from the new switch and installed on my switch without having to replace the entire switch, including threading the wiring down the steering column?
Thanks
