Was hoping they were replaced with something similar that would be less expensive....

What is GIS? Been poking around the web and getting a bunch of different #'s as well. Problem is I can't verify that they are the same as what I am looking for. The original 2857241 had the lane changing feature, and that would be kind of nice to have.

None, that's the one I had to buy ($350) to put in the Bee, after my replacement signal cam fell apart after the 6th actuation...Maybe I should be asking you how many spares you have sitting on your shelf

I hear you. Just bought a replacement for my RR from a guy and the quality is not what I remember.....

I had heard about quality issues with the replacement cams and instead bought a NOS switch for a Chrysler Imperial. Those switches are in the $60 range and the cam is the same/can probably be harvested for your needs.

That is the 1970 and up model with the hazards on the column.

50 year old plastic parts that have to flex are not goin to be very reliable, plastic is an oil product and it dries and shrinks and crumbles until it turns to dust , sometimes new old stock can be a waste of time and money ,if you get a new old stock piece don't use it after install if you want it to last, but then how do you know it works right?

I might play along with that ^^^ if it was left outside in the sun. Not in a box on the shelf. BTW, I co-own an injection moulding company. I still have sample parts from our original opening runs for TRW seatbelt division in 1985 of the first plastic locking mechanism they produced for GM. Parts are as good today as they were 36 years ago...

not everyone lives in 90 % humidity , I have seen some parts from the Midwest that were still pliable , out west we have nice rust free bodies but our plastic is dust

You don't happen to have that part #?. I can't find them listed there.
Here's a teaching moment. Click on "part number search" in the upper left of the screen and type the OEM number in the box. The site software will find

Well that's good to know. Here I was just putting "turn signal switch" in the search bar under 69 RR and getting no results.

This morning I stopped at the local Chrysler dealership to get some numbers. The 2857241 was active up till 1992 if I remember correctly. Then there were a few superseded part numbers with the latest being 2947801 which was produced until 2008. I found one of those on eBay and bought it, about $100. less than the 2857241's. I'll post up what it is like when I get it. The one on Rock Auto is the Shee-mar that everybody is complaining about not lasting. I bought one from SlantSixDan (made in Argentina) because he says it is way better than the Shee-mar. I had used one of those in Bee, but must have forgot that it isn't the best either. The 2 brown wires as well as the 2 green wires are the same shade color and the switch is made totally different, so a guy can't compare the wires to the original. Also the one from Dan as well as the Shee-mar does not have the lane change feature that was standard on 1968 and newer vehicles.
