Directional Signal Drawing

Good Morning all...'Miss Prudence', our 1949 Deluxe has her directional signals on a switch under the edge of the dash along with her horn button. The signals and horn work just fine but are not on the steering column as they should be. I have removed the horn button and the signal switch gear and repairs are required. Does anyone know where to find the drawing for this equipment? There is a US Patent Number stamped on the directional switch. It is 2276413. There is a logo on the switch which is USC if I am reading it correctly. Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Ernie

I don't believe there was a Packard published schematic of the switch but I put together something that might be of some help if you have the later switch with 6 wires at the connector. The schematic part is generic but shows the essentials of how the slide moves to connect the points.. The photos are of a typical Packard switch as used from 23rd thru 54th series and colors correspond with the schematic. Pre 49 switches with 3 wires do not have the brake light circuit going thru the switch.

Typically the problems with the switch are dirt & corrosion or the phenolic support holding the terminals warps so connection at some point cannot be made with the slide when it moves over the terminal.
