{Electrical} 85-91 Steering Column LEVER REPLACEMENT

[85crownHPP]

my turn signal lever has now arrived - its the older one, for the stalk horn button, and the switch end is definitly different...
I became curious thinking if I could use an older turn switch to match the lever, a napa part search turned up some part number overlap from 83 to 87.
Then a quick review of my 85 EVTM showed the presence of a horn switch inside my turn signal switch.

This could well mean that not only might the lever fit (without loose slack), but may actually give the supposed existing horn switch some function. I would have to add some pigtails to the switch connector, but i guess I can run to the junkyard for some of those.

Now all I need as a diagram of the switch for a stalk horn button application....

well, the slack isl loose, but it doesnt seem to compromise the functionality... it doesnt feel like there is anything behind the lever either, so i think i will buy a horn stalk application switch.

I also got the wiper switch in too... turns out the number on the part itself does match yours jonnie, but not on the box.

My car has the 1984 MF switch with the horn button and the 1986 lever. It doesn't push in anymore so no slack in it. I swapped the levers over because the chrome on the 1984 part was even worse.

hhmmm, maybe we could trade levers at scottfest, lol.
what do you have for a horn switch now?

How do you do the gear selector and wiper lever?

[85crownHPP]

wiper switch come right out with some screws. dunno bout the gear lever

Single drift pin holds the gear selector in



instrument panel does not need to come out. I had it removed for another reason.
