65 Telescopic column issues

[Dave K.]

Three years ago, I installed a tele column that was rebuilt by a supposed reliable vendor and following installation had turn signal issues from the get go. Column was returned for repair but problems were not fixed. I installed a new Lectric Limited turn signal switch. This fixed the problems. One year ago, I removed the column to perform a body off restoration. The column was stored in a safe area. Following the body drop on to the chassis the column was reinstalled and the erratic turn signal problems returned. I installed another new switch but still having issues. Anyone else having chronic tele column issues? Could something be misaligned in the column?

Re: 65 Telescopic column issues

Dave, have you looked under the column to see if maybe one of the wires backed out of the connector? Also try to turn the directional on and wiggling the wire harness connector under dash(column area). You really did not give any info on what happens when you use them. do the the indicators light up? Are the front or rear lights on and no flash? If you have a old harness check the fuse connection,sometimes they will rust over the years and the power will not get through the rusted termail.
