Universal turn switch issue.
My tuck needs a turn signal switch, at a car show recently the only one i could find was a universal switch, so i bought it with the seller assuring me that it would fit, the only draw back is that its not original and has to clamped to the column. No big deal, i bought it and was happy.
Today i went to plug it in and ran into a couple problems. The first is the original switch only had 6 wires, the new switch has 7 wires.
The second problem is that the two switches have different colored wires, so i can't just connect red to red and blue to blue etc...
has anyone here installed one? whats the extra wire for, or is this not the right switch? i can post the wiring diagrams if you guys need it, i have the one that the switch comes with and the one that is in the original shop manual.

wait, is your truck missing the whole thing? or did the switch inside the column break? that's a common part to break, and a replacement is like 10-20 bucks, just gotta remove the steering wheel, unscrew the old, disconnect wires, connect to new switch, and voila! done. Oh don't forget to replace the steering wheel!
