Turn Signal Switch - Manual - without Tilt - 78-79 Ford Truck

Description

Turn Signal Switch – Manual Transmission (Without Tilt Wheel) – 1978–1979 Ford F100, F150, F250 & F350 Pickup

The Turn Signal Switch – Manual Transmission (Without Tilt Wheel) is an OE-style steering column electrical restoration component designed for 1978–1979 Ford F-Series pickup trucks equipped with manual transmissions and non-tilt steering columns, including F100, F150, F250, and F350 models. This switch restores proper factory operation of the turn signals and related column-mounted functions, making it an essential part for classic truck restoration projects that prioritize correct configuration and dependable functionality.

Ford used different turn signal switch designs based on transmission type and steering column configuration. This switch is engineered specifically for manual transmission, non-tilt columns, ensuring correct fitment and electrical compatibility with factory wiring. Over time, original switches commonly fail due to worn internal contacts, brittle wiring, or age-related electrical degradation. When this occurs, turn signal operation can become intermittent or completely inoperative. Replacing the switch restores reliable, factory-style operation.

Manufactured as an OE-style reproduction, this turn signal switch matches original specifications for connector style, wire routing, mounting geometry, and internal operation. It is designed to integrate directly with factory-style steering columns used on 1978–1979 F-Series trucks without tilt wheels. Accurate reproduction is critical for maintaining compatibility with original column components and preserving factory wiring layout.

This switch is not intended for automatic transmission applications or tilt steering columns. Verifying both transmission type and steering column configuration prior to ordering is recommended to ensure proper fitment.
