I love it when I actually fix something. Whoopee.
We've all felt that the VW beetle had too many buttons and levers on the steering column. Very distracting when your trying to keep the motor going.
Years back, the ignition switch imploded. The remaining hole is good to store nickels and parts that some how are always rolling around on the floor. A working blinker assembly has alot of moving parts. You should see how many parts there are in a broken one. My ignition switch loose part holder is full.
Went to my local building supply , Salvage Store, he has a beat up box full of switches. My heart was set on a 480 volt switch, but it would make my fingers sore and was about 4 inches square, but it looked cool. Found a smaller one that matches the current parts scheme I've been using for 2 bucks .
In the dash, there are 2 dials that open ducts.. I think. All duct work was removed to lighten the car some time in the past. Stuck the new blinker toggle switch in the hole above the shifter.
Amazing, I'm so happy. It took 4 years to get the Blinkers to work,
Next.. "The Horn"
