Did you want to know about turn signal stuff as well? | | | | | Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 75 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 75 | It,s a 65 I think the turn signals might be all right. I wont know about them until i re wire all the outside lights. It is the bearing in the plastic piece with the wire on it that goes below or inside the turn signals . and what does the wire hook to. The horn ????? I hope i have cleared up what i am looking to fix.

Bill | | | | | Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 75 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 75 | Red 58 (bill) Does it go on first then the plastic turn signal assembly -spring -wheel -wheel nut -horn button. what holds the bearing down on the shaft an e clip. I dont think the p.o. put it back together right at all. thier is probably some parts missing. That is why i was looking for a diagram to see if anything was missing.The wiring is messed up when you hit the brake pedal the left turn signal indicator lights up. that is the next obstacle (wiring ) after i get it to steer.  Thanks Lou. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 | sounds like the right order, don't think yer missing anything - what holds the bearing in is light friction fit, the steering shaft inside, the column sleeve outside - never seen any pics of that area, other than maybe the assembly manual
the brake/turn mixup might be in the turn signal harness hookups, the brake light/turn indicator use some of the the same circuit, as the brake lights go thru the turn sig mechanism
