Re: turn signal lever swap
Grab it by the base (the part of it that doesnt rotate), push in, and turn CCW about 1/4 turn. It should then pull out, it might take a little wiggling though. The wire for it runs down the column, and plugs in under the dash. Unplug it, pull the old wire out, and fish the new wire down the column, then install the new one.

Re: turn signal lever swap

Re: turn signal lever swap
And is this the procedure for fixing a stuck turn signal? As in, one where the stalk doesn't automatically return when steered straight.

Re: turn signal lever swap
It should be the same procedure for both f-bodies. Both swapping out the lever and swapping out the switch the lever controls inside the column...
