Turn Signal Switch

[Signet 200]

How do you pull the wires for a new turn signal switch through the steering column of a 63 valiant. I have the steering wheel off. The new brass connector clips do not seem to want to make into the slot in the upper part of the steering column while pulling them with old wires.

Thanks!

Tape up the terminals so they can't snag on their way down the column. Stagger them so they don't form a bigger-than-necessary cluster (this'll create some slack in some of the wires, no big deal) and wrap with tape. Fish them down the column, then untape.

I tried that I cant seem to even get just one taped brass connector to get into the steering column. I seems like where the brass & old wire come together does not flex enough to make it into the square opening in the steering column. Maybe I'll try some pulling lube that's waxed based.

OK I have the wires pulled through the column the trick was to use a flat head screw driver to help direct the wire into square opening one at a time! So glad that's done!

Cheers!
