[DeTomaso] Shameless Plug for new Turn Signal Switch on ebay

[SOBill at aol.com]

Mike,
 
I have a flat charge of $50 to repair the turn signals. This  includes fixes 
to strengthen the switch week points.
 
Here's the painless way to remove the switch:
 
 
To remove the  switch, you must drop the steering column. 
Remove one of the  steering column two rear clamp bolts completely. Go to a 
hardware store and get  two 8 x 1.25 mm x 40 mm (about 1 ½ inch) bolts. Longer 
is better. Screw one  of the new long bolts into the hole where you removed 
the first regular bolt.  Remove the second rear bolt. Screw the second long bolt 
into the second hole.  Remove the remaining two front bolts (mine are Allen 
head) and drop the column  down. The long bolts will support the column, but 
more important, they will  align the column clamp holes when you put the whole 
thing back in place with  only two hands and limited tolerance for frustration. 
Remove the screws  holding the switch cover in place. Remove the screws 
holding the switch clamp in  place. Unplug the switch harness. Put the various 
bolts, screws, and the cover  in a baggie.
 
When you replace the turn switch, it would be a good time to  replace the OEM 
plastic ignition switch terminal strip. For an addition $5, I  will send you 
a high quality nylon terminal strip.
 
Have fun,

SOBill,  just for reference, what is your repair charge, or does it depend on
the  extent of the repair needed?
