Why Ford Turn Signal Switches Are So Terrible

[@RyanUlrich-p8d]

Extremely helpful, only video on KZbin that gets into this detail and exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!

[@jacobsupgrades]

@user-bw5lg5xl3l, thank you sir!

[@jnhernandez8692]

Thanks for this very informative video. After watching it, I was able to competently change my turn switch harness on my 1979 Ford Bronco XLT 351 MV8 and saved myself $790.00 which is what the shop wanted to charge me. Thanks again!

[@jacobsupgrades]

@@jnhernandez8692 I'm glad to help out and save you the money! That's pricy for what they wanted to charge. I believe it's way more satisfying getting the job done yourself.

[@Krasiva]

Only video I've found that shows how to change the gear selector display light bulb. Thank you.

[@jacobsupgrades]

I'm glad my video helped you out. I hope it went smoothly!

[@EthanSoro]

Looking to do this to my 1978 f250 ford 4x4 truck and the link it shows its for 87-91 and I am wondering if there may be a different one of ir that one will work with my truck. Thanks

[@jacobsupgrades]

It looks like the link I provided is out of stock. Here's a new link - amzn.to/3XFcIHd This one is for the automatic transmission no tilt column with light. Here's the different part numbers based on column and transmission configurations. D8TZ-13341-B - Automatic transmission and has the light D8TZ-13341-C - Manual transmission D8TZ-13341-A - Tilt steering column

[@SHR0NK]

Does this same one work for a 79 f100 ranger?

[@jacobsupgrades]

@@SHR0NK yes it should as long as you get the right one. Here's the part numbers based off the column and transmission. D8TZ-13341-B - Automatic transmission and has the light D8TZ-13341-C - Manual transmission D8TZ-13341-A - Tilt steering column

[@92Inquieto]

Have you ever done a shift tube inside the column? Mine broke on my 76

[@jacobsupgrades]

@92Inquieto, No I have not done one before. But I do have slop in mine and want to look into it soon. Is your shift lever and punch pin still in place?

[@92Inquieto]

Collar and lever are good, but I think it’s the tube inside. Can’t find a good video on it.

[@Fraserlincoln]

yes thank you very much

[@jacobsupgrades]

@Fraserlincoln, your welcome! Thanks for watching my video.

[@raulnoerodriguezantillon7480]

excelente thanks😊

[@jacobsupgrades]

You're welcome!

[@wittysgarage]

Awesome tutorial man. Looking forward to doing this in the spring on my 73'. Does this signal self cancel?

[@jacobsupgrades]

@wittysgarage, thank you, yes it does self cancel when you turn back.

[@wittysgarage]

@@jacobsupgrades awesome. Will definitely pick one up here soon. Thanks again. 🤘🏻😎

[@78BroncoOscar95]

Im gonna go buy this part and the steering wheel puller. Hopefully it fixes my issue with passenger side brake light:being much dimmer than driver side brake light/not even working.

[@jacobsupgrades]

This should help but I would also trace your wiring back to the tail lights to make sure it's not shorting out somewhere along the frame or in the light housing.

[@1971_Chevelle_SS]

You probably have a bad ground on the bulb socket. I’ve had to replace them to get lights working on those old fords.

[@jacobsupgrades]

@@1971_Chevelle_SS thanks for the tip!

[@78BroncoOscar95]

@@1971_Chevelle_SS yup it was the socket

[@BobTheBreaker9]

Why did you change this? Just curious?

[@jacobsupgrades]

@@BobTheBreaker9 turn signals wouldn't work and I needed them to work to pass inspection and get it licensed.

[@ronrosenthal9595]

Don’t see the part number for the turn signal harness, can you post?

[@jacobsupgrades]

@ronrosenthal9595, I have seen both part numbers D8TZ-13341B or D8TZ-13341-C. This one on amazon has the new connector attached - amzn.to/45MK6iE

[@RyanUlrich-p8d]

@ronrosenthal9595 Part number D8TZ-13341-C is for manual transmission, 13341-B is for automatic transmission and has the light, and 13341-A is for tilt steering column

[@jacobsupgrades]

@@RyanUlrich-p8d thank you for clarifying those part numbers and which column and transmission.

[@albuquerque505newmexico]

I'm about 2 hours in and still can't get this 🤬 clip undone

[@jacobsupgrades]

I understand your pain! I had the same problem with mine. Make sure you have a good pick set to pull it apart. I included a video link below focusing on getting that pesky plug apart. 70's Ford Turn Signal Harness Connector - kzbin.info/www/bejne/eWSbfJpmntqEack
