Title: 83 Silverado turn signal assembly question
Post by: Ngs1022 on June 19, 2015, 01:02:41 am

This part, which i need help naming and finding online to replace is in the steering column obviously and it moves when you flip the turn indicator right and left....its broken so my turn signal is useless. As you can see the previous owner tried to glue it to fix the cracking...Pics below...can you please tell me what its called that is broken on mine and who sells it? It is white and plastic i think, havemt taken the steering wheel off yet to get it out. Thanks a ton!

It's called a turn signal lever.  But, looking at the pic, the problem is more likely a broken turn signal switch inside the column.

You will need a steering wheel puller and another tool to remove the round disc with all the notches in it that locks the wheel from turning when you take the key out

Once you get the wheel off and the lock disc off there is I think 3 screws holding the plastic assembly in

Fishing the wire down the steering Collumn is the hardest part

Easiest way is to clip the connector off the lower end and tape a string or wire to it
The use that string to pull the new one back down

I'm sure there is some good vids in YouTube
