1950 Wayfarer Turn Signal

[gmcalis]

It appears the turn signal handle can be pushed in or pulled out slightly, does this control anything?  I don't notice anything different either way,  but I don't know if something just does not work.

I could not find the owner's manual for this one online (you should probably get one, btw). But it does not look like the factory lever is supposed to do anything more than switch up or down. So, I suspect that you should not attempt to push or pull on it 😅

Thanks for the info. I thought that was the case. I have the shop, owner’s, and parts manual but there was no information in them about it.

The owners manual should have the controls diagram, indicating what each button/lever does (assuming that we are talking about the OEM switch, and not the aftermarket accessory). What else can you possibly operate with the turn-signal lever? Hazardous lights\high beams\windshield washer? The first option was not available, back then, so if you have a separate high beam switch on the floor and a windshield washer control elsewhere, you have your answer You can also find that switch in the wiring diagram, in the shop manual, to see what exactly it does.
