Has anyone tried to cross referance the turn signal arm/ what ever you call it on the steering wheel to probably goes on fifty other trucks for 75 bucks instead of 435 bucks there is bound to be used on regular commercial trucks and a pile of them in a big truck salvage yard if we knew where to start looking ?????????????

I bought a replacement steering wheel from a Freightliner , maybe one of their models uses the same lever?
If no one has cracked this mystery i will try to go roam around the truck junkyard and see what looks like it might work

Do they have to be all the same switches or can they be some of these and some of those? several of my switches have broken tabs and are flopping all over the place

The switch legends pop out. I got a Chinese knockoff blinker switch they aren’t expensive but the plugs are different
Cool I was trying to figure out how to pop those out but hadn't discovered the trick yet. Of course some of the switches are two-way switches some of them are one way and some of them are momentary.
