Re: Turn signal problems

If there is another non obvious way then I'd like to learn too.
I am amazed that the company would pick a connector that was too large to be fished through the column fully assembled. My Merc had a retangular connector that was only about a quarter inch thick, but an inch wide and curved to fit in the column.
Is the wire harness hard wired into the switch?
If you go the desolder route, it might be helpful to have a desoldering tool, aka a soldersucker.
The cheapest type is a rubber squeeze bulb with a teflon tip. Melt the solder with the iron, then suck it out with the desoldering tool. Otherwise the solder will reharden inside the pin after you pull the wire.
Remember to make a sketch showing which color wire goes to which pin before disassembly.
