TURNSIGNAL SWITCH ?????
Installed my cheapo grant steering wheel today all went smooth and knew that my turn signal switch was messed up before going in figured i 'd get a look and order what i need to get everything working right . what i found was just a mess of broken plastic and wires taped and shoved in there .
so here's my question are the repo switches good ?
does it include the horn contacts too? (mine are missing completely .
i tried finding a picture but none show the horn contacts .
thanks in advance

Somewhere on the web is a great tutorial on replacing the switch, with photos. I'll look on my other computer, can't find the bookmark on this one, and try to post it this afternoon. You're in for a real adventure.

Also, get some nylon cord and a roll of electrical tape for fishing up the wiring during removal and then using the same cord for fishing down the new wiring. Taper the wrap so it slides easily....a little dielectric grease really helps to fish it in both directions.
Lastly, you'll need a tool to release the old pins from the connector. A small jeweler's screwdriver worked for me.

thanks guys , i have the tool already
i did this on my 66 mustang a long time ago , on the mustang the horn contacts are built into the turn signal switch . all the pictures i find on line of the f100 switch i can't see the horn contacts . so i guess i'll just call a vendor and have them look .

Not trying to steal thread but I got my brushings from DC saturday for steering column and I'm going put back together today. What would be a good lub. for turn signal switch, bearings and such, anything in particular I should lub. I also have a new turn signal switch to put in. Thanks
Oh 1970 f-100 if that matters.

Genuine Ford steering wheel: Remove the horn button or horn ring. On the outside of the steering wheel is a hole that the horn brush and insulator fits into.
Some wheels have one hole, some have two, as it depends on the applications. But does a Grant steering wheel have any holes? I dunno.
