Sierra Steer_Col_Switches - Spring Clip Thingy??
Dick Axtell - 20/7/19 at 03:04 PM

Hello Locosters and - (b)(I)HELP(/I)(/b)

After working on my dashboard, replacing a fuel gauge, refixing wiring etc., I am now in the process of putting everything back together. Have re-fitted the steering column indicator and light switches. Have forgotten exactly what goes where, with some smaller parts.

In particular, the "inverted W shaped" spring thingy, which I've shown in the attached image. Should it sit inside the switches, or sit astride them? Your help/advice would be much appreciated.

I've found a drawing in the Sierra Manual that may be of help. Looks like a slightly different model than yours but might help.

Not been successful at inserting it in the reply but have a look in my photo archive - Misc section, it's in there.

Hi John W. Thanks for your reply. That diagram (image 121844), is very helpful.

Mounts across the two top bolts of the switch gear.

Thanks for this very useful image. All is now clear (as far as these switches are concerned!!).

find the picture in your archive, and copy the 'forum code' it looks like "[pg!]121844[/pg!]" but without the ! marks
