38plymouth Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 I'm stuck home for a few weeks recovery from surgery. I'm trying to pass the beginning of recovery by ordering some parts. I need one of those universal turn signal switchs. I would prefer the plain back one that turns my taillights/brakelights into signals and I will be adding some type of antique looking front lights, I think I need the 7 wire?? I checked all of the local parts stores and the only one that can even order it is napa at a very high price. Should I just order on ebay?

1940plymouth Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 I just bought one from JC Whitney, Black with what appears to be a chrome plated handle. It also came with a six volt Flasher. Hope this helps, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobT-47P15 Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 I have one of the $20 units from Wirths. The Wirths are a very nice couple.....met them at a swap meet once. A lot of other places sell that same unit also. But---that is not the most durable turn signal, at least from my experience. A piece inside that has notches and holds the lever in place bent....I fixed it once, and it has bent again. I think the black or silver units that cost more are definitely more substantial. Am going to replace mine before too long....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Young Ed Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 The one I got from Napa sure seems to be industrial. I know it was more the $20 but from what I've heard and seen about the others I think its well worth it. Talk to the local napa and see if they will work with you on a deal for one. Sometimes they give discounts for car clubs etc too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobT-47P15 Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 The new one I have looks like Ed's. It's used, so I have to invent a new attaching strap for the steering column. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes they give discounts for car clubs etc too. I used to work at my local napa and I know how their pricing system works. It rips off a regular customer. The only people that get fair prices from them are the dealerships because of the volume they buy. You wouldn't believe the layers of pricing they have depending on who the customer is.

Young Ed Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 Well even if you won't get it at napa I still highly reccommend that turn signal unit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
38plymouth Posted March 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 I would like that one but I won't buy it from napa, I'm still searching online for one. Thanks for the info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Hoffmeyer Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 I can vouch for the dependability of those Signal Stat turn signal assemblies. They have been used on just about every big truck (18 wheelers) in the last 40 years with very little trouble. The Freightliner I currently drive has almost 700,000 miles on it with one of those units; performs flawlessly. Paul H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
