Emergency flasher switch

Hi everyone!

I have a Mexican 66 F100 with a floor 4 speed manual transmission that I'm restoring. The truck has been in the family since new.

I need your help in trying to find the correct emergency flasher switch as well as a photos.

My truck has a chromed switch very close to the parking brake handle hanging from the dash that I'm sure is not original and in the steering column there is no switch or hole for it either.

Thanks!

If the truck was built in Latin America, the Ford truck parts catalog is specific to Latin America. I don't know anyone who has one.

On 1966 US/Canadian F100/250's, the optional emergency flasher switch mounted into an existing hole in the dash, to the right of the steering column.

There was no factory or dealer installed emergency flasher switch that mounted anywhere else.

1967/72 F Series trucks: The emergency flasher switch was mounted inside the glove box on a bracket.

1973 was the first year the emergency flasher switch was combined with the turn signal switch, so there is a cutout in the upper steering column flange for its **** to poke thru.

Since someone brought it up. I wired my 66 using a diagram from a 64, so I don't know how to attach the emergency flasher switch. If anyone can tell me how to patch this in I would appreciate it.

If you have the '64/72 truck parts catalog, look at this: Illustration Section 145.2, Page 1.

Flasher Wiring

I found the schematic to be as follows for my flasher unit, (1965 F250).
White/Red to hazard flasher
White/Blue to right front
Blue in from turn signal switch
Red/Black to brake switch
Green/White to left front
Blue to turn signal flasher

The leads that go from flasher to lamps, have to be wired to turn signal switch leads, not the lamps directly.

My turn signal switch schematic is as follows.
White/Blue to right front
Blue to flasher unit
Green to right rear
Blue/Yellow to horn
Red/Black to brake switch
Green/White to left front
Yellow/Brown to left rear

Thanks NumberDummy. I guess my dad installed that chromed switch. He kept the truck 100% original and I always wondered why the switch was different (and ugly).

I wonder if I can use a 66 Broco emergency flasher switch with the same ***** as mine?
