Quality Turn Signals Switch

[69dodgesuperbee]

Hi Everyone. I have a 1969 Dodge Super Bee and my turn signals have worked great until just recently. Something broke internally in the column and now when I use the right turn signal, it doesn't cancel when you complete the turn. The left still cancels as it should. I haven't opened up the column yet, but I'm assuming I need a new turn signal switch. My question is this; where do I go to get a good quality turn signal switch? I'm always leery of the "big box" sources like Classic Industries, Year One, etc. because I have had so many fitment/operational issues in the past. Who sells the best one? Thanks for your help.

In my experience, the only good ones are NOS. Very expensive, but you can find them on ebay.

What ^^^^ said! Do it right and do it once.

This is what's wrong with your switch...

Direct from hiltop.. NOS Mopar Turn Signal Switch 1967-9 All Without Tilt Wheel - Hiltop Auto Parts

Or off Ebag from Hiltop.. NOS MOPAR 1967-68-69 TURN SIGNAL SWITCH ALL MODELS EXCEPT TILT | eBay

Might be the last one out there..

If you can't find a NOS one. Look for only ones that have a wheel horn contact.
The poor quality will have a stud contact that requires dielectric grease(that wears off quickly) then you get a squeak turning the wheel.
Very annoying. Old Car Parts has a very quality switch. I have used several from them.

@Slantsixdan had quality switches at one time.

I have bought Dan's switches in the past. They are probably one of the best repops out there, but they do not have the momentary lane change feature as originals did....

Tho my quotes are backwards. Yes I believe Dan's and Old Car Parts switches are one in the same.

There isn't many NOS switches left... I've wasted money three times buying aftermarket switches at about $70 each... If I'd just bought the NOS in the first place I'd be saving $$$... But you go ahead...

I will second the @Slantsixdan switch.

Yes. I bought several of them a year or so ago between $235 and $245. Glad I picked them up when I did, but still crazy.

Get off the wallet, it is going to hurt. Then you can forget about it forever.

I replaced the switch in my GTX twice last spring with the aftermarket stuff. I would say they are generally junk and do not work the way the originals were intended (just my opinion).

Thanks everyone for your response to my question. I'll have to dig into my column soon to see what going on with it. I just hate spending money on junk parts and truly prefer to buy quality stuff.
