I need to remove and probably repair my whole switch.
1967 Chrysler NY . Tilt and telescope column.

but i cant find a way to get that thing out (in 1 piece) ? The opening in the "housing" around are much more narrow than the switch it self.

Ive tried to bend it a little in the possible ways. And i got the oppositside from the cam out, but The "axle" that the turn signal arm is fastened in locks up the whole thing. So i wonder if it is possible to remove the housing or what to say. The switch is bolted in a castiron thing that i suppose s the joint for the tilt function. Q: can i remove the housing around all this poopies. I cant find any screws that it should be fastened with. I may be dumb as f*** but i have to ask.

hope that there is someone that can help me. As i said, i probably have to repair it when i can only find switches for cars w/o tilt /telescope function

And the tool is the one on page 10 i suppose :) so. Slidehammer and the tool. Should help me get the cover out. The tool looks line it got the puller function on the outside of the arms?:) looks like it would do the trick when tbe beginning of the cover is "rolled" in.

(Tail)
My problem is that i got the turn signal and parklight but no brakelight, i got power from brakelight switch to the direction signal switch connector. But no power out on the darkgreen and brown which is the stop/dir, left/right side. And the emergency flasher just glows in the front, nothing rear. Glows like groundproblem no flashing. But if i disconnect any of the cables on stoplightswitch it flashes (in front)
Changed bulbs sandpapered the sockets for ground.
Put powerdirectly from the stop light switch and on the darkgreen cable in the direction signal switch; voila brake light, though no turn signal.




I have no backup light either. But what i can se from the wiring schematic, it wont be any better if i fix the T/S Switch

Isnt it possible to take out the plastic pins and replace with a drillbit for example.. just to go around the column disassemble and be able to use the 2pounder hammer :p

I jumped the power from the brake switch to the brakelights in the turn signal switch connector. And the brake lights worked, but not the turn signal. Thus direct opposite the problem from beginning. But if i removed the jumpers things were ordinary again, no brake light but working turn signal:)

I checked the cables from kick panel to connector in trunk no problem there, but i also realized that with the connector in trunk disconnected i got power on both brown and dk.green (power for brakes and turn) when i pressed prake pedal. But if i connect them again i got no power when i push brake. Hmm ground problem?
Later on i sat in car and jerking with turnsignal lever and pumping brake. All of a sudden i had brake lights and turn signal. Drove around the block and then it was the same again, no brake light, jerked the lever pumping brake, got brake lights for 20 secs then out again.

I concentrated again on grounding in back. Used multimeter for contact measure, dissconnected connector in trunk and all bulbs and put the bulbholders on rags for no grounding. Leftside i had only contact between cables with same color, but on right side i put the meter on the brassthing in the bulb holder that is brake light.(brown) and on the brown cable in connector; contact, but i had contact with purple cable too (backuplight). And the thing is the right backuplight doesnt work=burned cable somewhere there.

But still the jerking with turn signal lever spooks in my head? Can i forget about that direction signal switch?
I oughta change the turn signal cam too, i must hold lever when i signal for turn. I can stand the lever though, but charlie bluelights demands functioning rear lightings :p

Well the problem is in turn signal switch, there or in the back somewhere on the right side. Im going to remove/loosen rear bumper to get good overview on the harness and backuplights
As i wrote earlier i used power from brake switch direct to the brakeligbts, and they worked therefore there cant be a problem with brake sw?
