New truck, New problems to fix...




I just got home with this yesterday and there's a few things that I would like to dig into to see if I can fix them....
1st... Turn signal indicators. I can get a left turn out of outif I hold the column mounted lever. It acts like there is no detent in the switch in the column. No right turn at all no matter what I do. I'll be pulling the steering wheel when I get a chance to. Any other ideas I should look into there?
2nd... Trans gear indicator. Doesn't move, I actually don't remember seeing it at all. Any pointers there? I'm sure theres more but this is a good start for now. As a bonus the original R12 AC still works!

Someone might have been in the steering column before replacing the key switch actuator yoke. When dropping the column down, it’s easy to unhook the cable that goes to the shift indicator but it’s a pain to put it back on.
