My right hand turn signal works fine and the left side works but the lever must be held down. I assume this means the turn signal switch is bad. How hard or easy is this switch to change out? Thanks in advance. Rich

It's probably the plastic canceling cam under the steering wheel. Pull the steering wheel and it should be staring right at you.

See the thread aways down.

Had the same with my 68, a week after I had put in a brand new switch. A tiny bit of plastic that allows the signal to catch snapped off. Wilcox had a replacement turn signal section that you can use to repair yours.

Switch and or canceling cam. Both are in expensive and easy to replace and its easier to do bothwhile your in there. Before you pulll the steering wheel, check and see if there is a witness mark to line it back up to center. If not you will want one. Take pictures to ensure you put everything back in the correct order. You can either disconnect the battery which is suggested so you dont blow fuses or listen to the horn during the whole process or you can just unplug the horn. You'll need a steering wheel puller, make sure you thread the bokts all the way in so you dont strip the threads out. Good luck

Some of the crap bubba used for the horn

if you look at the pic of the switch, you can zoom in and see 2 arms. the arms are what the cancel cam hits to unlock it.It has 2 other detents that hold it in the signaling positon. Once you get it apart to this point you can tell whats broken

Well I ordered the turn signal switch repair piece as suggested and finally got some time to make the repair today. It came apart pretty easy but for the life of me I couldn't see what was wrong. The part that I expected to be broken looked fine. After staring at things for a wile I finally noticed a tiny broken part but it wasn't on the switch part that moved with the lever it was on the large plastic piece that everything attaches to so it looks like a new switch assembly is in order. What kind of a job is it to replace the whole switch assembly? Rich

Make sure that you get the made in America switch from Trim Parts. I think that Wilcox sells them, ask. I am on my fourth switch in 44 1/2 years of coupe ownership. This last time, I realized that the long metal steering column wire retainer, under the column, would gently un-clip. Lou.

you need to take off the upper and lower trim covers, be careful of the tabs that the screws go in. once those are off you can see the wire and plug. It just unplugs and unlaces out of the column. the switch part has a couple of screw holding it in. take more pics incase you forget something, the horn was harder for me since Bubba wasnt using all the correct parts. And look up under the column before reemoving the cable incase you do have some clips holding the wires
