I am in need of a windshield wiper switch for my 1963 Ford F100, 223-6.

Attention: Number Dummy, can you please help me on this, local parts places no luck, LNC,Mac's, and Carpenter's, no luck. Need your special magic on parts again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you,

you need a single speed switch?

i have one here on the desk with a bezel.

 

whats wrong with yours? with switches in our trucks, you can take them apart and clean them up, put them back together and have a like new switch.. with out spending a dime lol

 

Just will not work at all...I have tried to get it going, no luck......

That would work, I just gotta find a switch that works, I cannot believe no one has them that I can find.

How would you take one apart anyway?

I would be interested in the one that you have, how much wold you sell it for?

Someone in my truck's past life had gotten under the dash and really messed up the wiring on her, what is not worn out, the wiring is a mess.

How do you take one apart, I am looking at mine right now and I do not see a way to take it apart without damaging the switch even more.

Bill W,

The Ford part number on my switch is C3TB-178553, I don't know if it is a one speed or two speed as it has not worked since I got the truck a sort time ago. Would a two speed work if the original one was a one speed?

its the same part number as mine.... move the **** clockwise and see if it clicks once or twice!

PM me if you want it... i know it works, i pluged it into my truck and tried it out.

 

The correct number is C3TB-17A553-G, I misread the number the first time, this number is correct.

This is NOT a part number, it's the ID ENGINEERING number marked on the part itself, and its suffix is missing.

There are NO Ford part numbers marked on parts after 1956, just ID Engineering or casting numbers...when applicable.
(sigh) Since the numbers suffix is missing, how can you say that?

There are FIVE different C3TB-17A553 ID ENGINEERING numbers:

C3TB-17A553-A .. C3TB-17A553-B .. C3TB-17A553-E .. C3TB-17A553-F.. C3TB-17A553-G

These ID ENGINEERING numbers cross reference to THREE different wiper switch part numbers.

Marked with ID engineering number: C3TB-17A553-G = Ford part number: C3TZ-17A553-G .. Single Speed Wiper Switch-5 terminals (Motorcraft SW-722) / Obsolete

Applications: 1963/66 F100/600 & N600 / No Ford Dealer or obsolete parts vendor has any.

A year or so ago, FTE member 65GH needed one of these switches. Just like today, no one had any

After some research, it was determined that C3UZ-17A553-C (1963/66 Econoline single speed-5 terminals/marked C3UB-17A553-C) will work in place of C3TZ-17A553-G.

There are 5 of these switches available NOS / If interested, will type the sources.

 

Please post the sources Bill

Thanks,

C3UZ-17A553-C .. Wiper Switch / Obsolete

NOS PARTS SOURCE in Olathe KS has ONE = 913-220-5746.

WESLEY OBSOLETE PARTS in Liberty KY has TWO = 606=787-5293.

GREEN SALES CO. in Cincinnati OH has TWO = 800-543-4959.

 

Thank you Bill..
