This is going to sound weird but it will help me immensely. Could someone here with an early model t-bird with the factory turn signal switch,
- start the car
- turn on the headlights
- turn on the high beams
- activate the turn signal, either one is fine
The reason is when I do the same with the new turn signal switch I put in, the wipers and wiper fluid activate and I'm wondering if that happens on the factory switch to know if mine is good or if there's technically something wrong with it. This has been part of my saga to fix my turn signals which didn't work and now they kind of magically work again (when I put the second switch in it initially didn't work but now it does)
Thanks for the help
