Turn signal lever

[Superdupont]

The other day, my turn signal lever stayed in my hand:( What is broken is not the turn signal lever itself, but a little piece of metal that holds it. I don't know how it's called in french so in english i couldn't tell you more.

I searched in my service manual but i couldn't find any pic of that. Does anybody have one, to help me show you what i'm searching for?

Thank you all.

Do you have a floor mounted dimmer switch? Or is yours a Salon with the column style?
Just read your sig, your dimmer is activated by the turn signal lever, correct?

[Superdupont]

Correct, my car is a Salon, and the turn signal lever activates dimmer. It also has the cruise control button on it.

Sorry, I don't have any Salon style columns, have some regular column parts though. Maybe a member here has or can get the peice you need, good luck.

You might be able to find one through Fusick's or The Parts Place out of Chicago. Both of these suppliers will have some NOS items that aren't normally listed in the catalogs. I lucked into a set of NOS door edge guards that way, along with a good used window regulator. I guess the bottom line, is whether you're looking for a show quality piece, or something a little less, and how much are you willing to spend. If you have some specifics and a good description, this year's OCA Nationals should have one of the bigger swap meet areas. I or one of the other guys (or gals) on this site could pick one up for you if they find it in the swap meet. I also know of a local salvage yard that has quite a few '73-'75 Cutlass'. They charge premium prices, but if its the only source you have, and you need it, how much is one willing to pay.

Thanks for your help, Todd and Pete.

I finally removed it, and as i could see it was not the first time it broke, it was brazed, but the weld was not strong enough. So i brazed it again:

For the moment, it will be allright, next time i order parts in the U.S i will think about it.

Anyway, it's not the most important, for the moment i've got a biggest problem: electric troubles :mad:

[ragz442]

What kind of electrical troubles?

[Superdupont]

Yeah, you're right, electricAL troubles, better like that:D

I'm gonna create a new thread about that, it will be more readable.
