The best explanation and knowledge. Step by step. He did not forget a detail. He speak straight to the point. This is how a video of this type should be.
As thorough and concise a video as humanly possible. Very impressive!
This is such a fantastic video. You can see what the mechanic is doing and he warns you on all the little details that make the assembly work. Thank you!
This is a great walk through and came in handy when I did the repair. The only thing I wish they included was the torque settings for the steering wheel nut. I had to break out the Chitons to find it was 30ft pound. Still a great video.
Time Saver :
When you have the plastic switch out , cut the wires from the top near the switch and tape the new harness to those cut wires , that way you can pull the new switch harness in while pulling the old wiring out 😊
THE SPECIAL TOOL IS CALLED A LOCK PLATE REMOVAL TOOL
Just finished a dash swap on my '90, and couldnt for the life of me rememver where the little blackwire with the red connector went (in the background at 17:50) and now I know. Bless you sir
Thanks for the step by step video man,it's very much appreciated dude.
Fix the title, this is for replacing the turn signal switch for a 1988-1994. There's way more to deal with 1995-2000. Dashboards were changed, airbags were added, airbag and horn cover were screwed on from the back side of the steering wheel(not sure what the inside of the steering wheel looks like). I have the same issue with 1A Auto when they do certain videos for these trucks too.
Agree with the above
Very helpful I did take a couple short cuts, didnt remove switch or turn signal cut old wires at steering end and taped to new switch and pulled from top to bottom saved a lot of time could not have done without easy to follow video THANK YOU!!
Extremely helpful and awesome camera shots! That made all the difference in the world!
One of the best instructional videos I've in a while, great presentation!!!!
Great video you explain step by step. 💯👍🏼😊
So excellent, details and all the things you should pay attention to! Thank you!
This video was perfect for my 92 RS Camaro. Everything was nearly identical.
At 6:00, after taking off the four bolts, you need to remove the two nuts supporting the steering column in order to remove the bracket. the video skips removing the bracket...
Your videos are always very informative and professionally done great job 👍🏽
This was such a life saver. Thank you for making the video... our. Ar parts don't get made anymore and I had to find a metal shop to weld that turn signal bracket together and to get the signals to work(click)
+Duane Kortas Jr Thank you! We love empowering our customers and showing how to perform DIY auto repairs with our high-quality auto parts. 1aau.to/m/Shop-TRQ
I had the same problem but can't find a local welder to weld, @trq do you sell the bracket for a 1993 Cherokee sport?
@@TRQ Awesome video! You have a new customer! Do you sell the bracket that goes over the switch for a 1993 Cherokee sport? I saw in the video at around minute 4 that that's the part I need that's broken. Thanks!
Outstanding video, helped me with the turn signal.
Excellent video that helped me through this repair. I really liked the vidio quality, and the fact you focused on the repair at hand. Two things though. The orientation plastic part that activates the high beams switches after you show how to put it in (originally upside down at 10:12) and when you finish putting it in (at 10:38). Also, the way you grab onto the steering wheel tilt adjustment lever with pliers leaving marks on it made me cringe.
Vielen Dank für die super Anleitung. Das hat mir sehr gut geholfen. Mein Chevy ist ein G20 Sherrod Van Bj.1988. Den fahre ich jetzt seit 25 Jahren
Be aware he takes apart more than necessary which resulted in me breaking the little plastic peace with the copper colored two pieces of metal. The ignition did not need taken out either, I’m currently unsure that it’s back in properly. Wish I wouldn’t have followed this so closely as it’s caused me larger problems than the turn signal at this ooint
Sounds like he’s calling it ‘peeton’. Not sure if he’s unaware of its name too and saying a dumb sound or what.
Thank You SO MUCH for showing this. It was still an EXCEPTIONALLY difficult job, but thank You for allowing me to see the parts. Rocked it out slowly, nothing broke, and everything that never worked before now works!! Thanks for keeping us rollin !! 🙏🚂🎼🌹🎶🎵⚕️🛠~C< 3)>>-Z->}
So I will say this I found an easier way to put the little high beam cam and everything back in. Put the cam on the dowel on the little plastic piece then slide it on. Then slide the bigger piece into it. So much easier saved me a lot of time.
This is a great video. Save yourselfs some time and follow the first steps. Insead breaking the column down to the ignition, just get to the blinker switch, depin the old plug and take string to the wires and pull. Then depin the new one. Tape to the string and pull back down, and you are done. Then follow the video to put everything back together. I just did this job. It's not hard.
That can be quite tricky. I struggled with the high beam switch!
THIS IS AN EXCELLENT VIDEO ON THE SUBJECT ! THANKS !!!!!!! I AM SICK OF THIS MODERN TECH JUNK . HOW CHEAP AND SIMPLE THINGS WERE IN THE 50s AND 60s . I HAD RATHER OWN AND DRIVE A 50s AND 60s CHEVY PU THAN TO HAVE A NEW 2023 Chevy PU AT A COST OF $38,000.00 AND SOMETHING GO WRONG EVERY TIME YOU TURN AROUND , SPENDING , IN THE LONG RUN AS MUCH AS YOU PAID FOR IT IN ORDER TO DRIVE IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!-----Ernest E. Johnson
Thanks for the help your a excellent teacher
Thank you--I have to do this repair
Thanks for such a detailed video, you sure make it look easy!! On my 88 K1500, I have already had steering column torn apart to tighten up the column slop (loose bolts). Now, with everything back together, I finally have the replacement turn signal stalk (cruise wasn't working). **Supposedly** , it's possible to just twist/pull the old stalk out, cut cruise wire, and use that as fish line, to pull new cruise wire down through column. I think I can handle that, and reconnect it. But, I'm concerned about reinstalling the new stalk. I really don't have a good grasp on what has to fit where (ie, to assure dimmer rod action)...... Can you offer any tips, or blow apart diagrams/pics etc? Im being a wimp, not wanting to start something and make a mess....
whats the special tool called
Great details and video!!
+Chris G Thanks for watching our video! 1aau.to/m/Shop-TRQ
Good jab👍
great video BUT why did you not say that you put the piece that holds the high beam rod upside down? You had me trippin
This seems fairly similar to my 88 S10. Not an easy job for an amateur.
the center of my 1998 c1500 has an airbag, yours does not. I do not think you have the year range correct. Plus my column cover comes apart, yours is solid.
My turn signal switch chrome plastic broke off the steel shaft that goes into the switch harness . The shaft that goes into the steering column still functions all phases of multi switch without the chrome plastic.
Please correct me if I'm wrong but the turn single switch is part of the high/low beam? I lost my high beams then lost my lights a few months later .
This job is more then I can do. What would would someone charge to do this job? I don't want to get ripped off.
Would this correct the difficulty in my downward (left turn) locking of the stalk? It dies not stay locked on its own.
11:58 the what lmaooo
I replaced the switch for cruise and blinker on my 91 but it feels like it is binding! Any helpful hints?
tell me why last night i was at a red light waiting to turn left and i see smoke come outta my steering wheel and the turn singal switch gave out. still works to the right. hazards still work, wipers and cruise control still work. the cancelation mechanism was already starting to give out now and i could hear the little clicking noise as if it was making contact when it wasn’t when randomly when driving. now i got a real reason to change out the wiring/ switch 😢
Thanks
EXCELENTE VÍDEO 📹 MUY COMPLETO 👍 FELICITACIONES 👏
That's a lot of steps you make it look easy but I don't think I need to replace mine my blinkers work but my high beam switch does not turn on and my hazard button broke off.
Are any of those wires tied to the horn?
thank, you for you're video.🙏
+Gerland Kent Thanks for watching our video! 1aau.to/m/Shop-TRQ
is this for replacing the lever it doesnt look like ypu replace it in the video just the wiring
What's the little white switch at 12:00 minutes in called? Right after you reinstalled the ignition? I need to replace that. 1989 GMC 1500.
Ignition warning buzzer switch
Can be done without removing key cylinder and surrounding plastic housing
Any chance you have a video of the wiper / blinker stalk replacement? Can't seem to find that online anywhere ('94 k5 blazer)
+@mattwebster3161 We do not carry the part you need. Please check back soon as we are always updating our inventory.
This video explained everything, but dude this at 9:49? That was not easy peasy.
It's a heck of allot easier to de-pin the connector then trying to drag that gigantic plastic aircraft carrier through the tiny slot allotted for those wires. A simple small pick will un-clip each wire from the connector. Tape the ends in a tight and flat configuration. Feed the wires through, then re-insert the wires into the connector. You do not need to break it down anymore then that. Of course you will write down the color order before doing so.
Replaced mine everything works except the windshield wiper part. The switch turns freely so I can't select to turn on the wipers or turn them off. Did I miss something?
whats the little black plastic for the high beems called?
I've got a 1989 GMC 1500 4x4 short bed TRUCK. 350 vortec
Trying to push the turn signal wiring through the column is the biggest pain. Have an Itty bitty sleeve to shove it through.
What is the piece the multi function switch plugs into called? I’m having a lot of trouble finding one
I need to know as well
I accidentally broke the little white clip that comes out from under the ignition switch, does anybody know what its called or where it can be found besides a scrap yard?
Would this work on a 91 p30
Wow, could Chevy have made this any harder to replace? Sheesh
What is that tool to pull the clip off called
Special Tool
I forget off the top of my head but your local auto parts store should have one in stock. Usually in the "specialty tools" section. It should say retaining clip removal tool on the package.
Lock plate remover, Amazon has them for a good price
What is that piece called at 9:48
Hello please help I need to know where I can buy the black cover that goes over the hi beam actuator rod to keep it place when you turn on your hi beams at 10:57. My rod for the hi beam is just exposed as well as the wires and I'm missing the black plastic piece to actually turn it on cause it fell out.
Video not applicable to 93’ gmc c1500, some things similar but forsure please change your title to help out the struggling above average man.
+Nichoas Scott Thanks for the tip! We'll pass this info along to our production team. 1aau.to/m/Shop-TRQ
What is that plastic piece called my truck came without that cover so guessing that plastic piece is gone and no one can tell me part number for it
How much what truck auctioned or sold for?
1988 to 1994. 1994-2000 completely different
Como cambiar la tapa de blok
If my hazards are stuck on afterwards, what's the best way to fix that
Did you ever find the problem? I'm also stuck
@@jasonellison7761 Did you all figure out the Hazards issue? I just installed my turn signal switch and I can't turn off my hazards.
I would so f this up.
Anybody else's truck no crank no start after doing this? HELP
Where can I get that piton 12:02
Did you connect the brown and black wire back to the white wire so the remote start works properly? Lol
Bruh it would be easier just to replace the whole column
What is that small piece at 5:37, i have a 1989 caprice and it dont have that. Do you know the name
Where you able to find out what’s that piece called?
Buzzer
Ignition warning buzzer switch... When you leave the key in the ignition and open the door the warning buzzer will sound
by making a tool, you do not need to remove the steering wheel.
Yeah looks like I'm gonna have to pay someone to do that.
@TRQ
Don't think a 2000 looks anything like that
this does not look fun
Ik😭
Not as bad as it looks if you have the tools. Just gotta do it it's really not bad.
Time Saver :
When you have the plastic switch out , cut the wires from the top near the switch and tape the new harness to those cut wires , that way you can pull the new switch harness in while pulling the old wiring out 😊
So my plastic thing that holds the HI beam bar broke and I can’t find it. Dose anyone know what that is called?
