brake lights and turn signals inop after steering wheel install.
Ok, so I have completed the power steering/brake swap on my 68 f100. In doing so I had to switch out the steering column as well. After buttoning it all up and getting the wiring figured out I was good to go, all of my lights worked. Just recently I switched out the steering wheel for a grant wheel. While there I was going to switch out the turn signal cam. Took off the old one and put on the new one exactly how the old one came off. I dont remember why but I ended up using the old one. Anyways, pretty much I dont have brake lights or signals. All my fuses look good, and I can only find 1 flasher relay. Its the one mounted to the dash bracing behind gauge cluster. I have read that the other one is mounted to the back of the gauge cluster on the drivers side. The only thing I find there is a square looking "relay". At first it looked like I could just swap the 552 flasher, but it has 1 male and 1 female spade type connections, where as the 552 flasher has the 2 male connectors.

1967/69 F100/350: The 4 way emergency flasher switch is located on the inside of the glovebox, mounted to a bracket.
Its flasher nestles into a bracket that uses one screw to attach it, located under the dash to the left of the glovebox.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1967/69 F100/350: The turn signal flasher plugs into the backside of the instrument cluster, far left (drivers) side upper corner.
Suggest disconnecting a battery cable for safety, before reaching up there to get at that flasher, as there's all sorts of wiring, some of it probably frayed.

Ok so I got my part in from touselyford but it was the wrong turn signal switch. It looks as though it is the switch for a 68f100 and not the 78150 column that I have in my 68(my fault for not specifying). The 3 mounting screws didnt all line up in the switch housing, only 2 did. Anyways, since its a 68 truck the wires were easily placed into there pin slots. No extra wires to worry about. But since it was a different part I dont think it is either 1) gounded correctly or 2) it wasnt my turn signal switch that was faulty. Still no brakes or turn signals.

#1: D8TZ-13341-A = Use with Tilt Wheel / MSRP: $150.02 / tousleyfordparts.com price: $99.01.
#2: D8TZ-13341-B = Use with A/T without Tilt Wheel / MSRP: $110.00 / tousleyfordparts.com price: $72.60.
#3: D8TZ-13341-C = Use with M/T without Tilt Wheel / Prices appear on Tousleys site, but I think it's obsolete, as there's no PDC status for it / 12 available NOS
Tilt wheel feature works off T/S handle. Gently press it forward, if Tilt Wheel present: BOING!

OK, I have kind of put this off for a couple of months now. Classes have started back up and im driving my truck every day again, so I need to get these lights working. I pulled open my original 68 steering column to see how the TSS was mounted, I have a new 68 turn signal switch mounted in a 78 steering column exactly how it is mounted in the 68 column, so I dont think that it is a grounding issue with the TSS. Since its a 68 truck it should be a plug and play experience, so now I am ruling out the TSS as a culprit. Onto my tailights, the running lights work. I have no turn signals, brakes, or back up lights. Here are some pics of my flashers.
Square flasher on back of gauge cluster, I have heard from you guys that it should be a round one like this one.
