It costs about $225, and I got mine on ebay. No more electric motor noise when I use the turn signals, and I've driven the car for several hundred miles with no turn signal malfunctions or issues. Other's claim success by doing what I did, but it didn't work very well for me, so the second time out I cheated: I bought a Cougar's Unlimited electronic sequential unit, which combines all three components into one unit. Then they went back to doing what they had been doing.
You can hear the turn signal servo running from the interior of the car every time you use the turn signals (if the engine idles quietly enough.) So I got into the trunk, pulled the unit out, opened it up and cleaned the contact surfaces off (the sequential flasher is in the white plastic box on the rubber mounting surface, at least on '65's.) Sure enough, the turn signals started working as they were supposed to.for fifty miles. As it turns out, my system had been worked on before, so I don't know if the enclosure might have been something fabricated by a previous owner to one degree or another, but other '65 owners describe a similar mounting setup for their cars.Īnyway, the sequential flasher is kind of primitive because it's essentially a servo turning a cam that brings electrical conductors into contact with each other. The enclosure for it is also fairly crude.in my case, the sequential flasher, a brake light relay and a third unit all mounted on a thick rubber backing surface and wrapped with some insulation and some sort of early duct tape sealing it all up. That unit is a surprisingly primitive electro-mechanical unit located in the forward area of the trunk, at least on the 1965 cars. One of the forums online said that the sequence lights not working right is mostly a matter of cleaning the contacts on the sequential "flasher" unit. I don't know for sure what will be involved in addressing that. This pretty much describes my turn signal function issues when I got my car, with the exception that my front turn signals did work. Two of three sequential turn signals lights working.
Will order a new window motor tomorrow so that problem will be solved. It did work but was moving very slowly, conncted the wires from the engine to the wiring loom in the door, it was just as slow as with an external battery. took it off the car and connected it to a battery.
#1969 thunderbird turn signal switch drivers
The drivers side engine was full of old crap.thats way that one did not work. will double check the wiring tomorrow to test if i have switched the + and - wires going to one side of the button.
Checked the switch after taking it appart and cleaning it.my friend did it the first time.and I discovered that he had put the brass plate on the back of the switch on the wrong way making a connection between - and - instead of + and +( meaning 12v only one side of the button making it go up and not down.
I think at leas we now get the window engine to go up and down from the drivers side controlls, and up but not down on the passanger side controlls. We had the switch out and cleaned it.and wiring going in to the connector plastic socket fell out of the socket.we must have put it back in the wrong order, because when we followed the schematics. We did change the passanger side power window motor earlier.and it would not work after reinstalling it. Progress.I did find wiring schematics for the power window of 70 thunderbird.More or less the same.except from wiring colors.
