Turn Signal Switch Box

[jford]

I've been searching for a turn signal switch box for my 72/FJ40. Any ideas? Dealer doesn't carry them nor does anyone else? What to do... what to do.

That's why I turn my questions over to the ever wise bunch of this website!

Thanks.

Do you mean the switch assembly or flasher unit?

try Cruiserparts or SOR for a used on.

Thanks Guys... I checked CruiserParts... they have them. Expensive though...

Is there an aftermarket flasher from NAPA or a parts store that can be made to work?

Are you looking for the switch on the lower column that the rod from the lever goes into? I may have an extra, you can get me here or offline: lesterpaul@in-tch.com Paul

NAPA has a heavy duty universal truck flasher that works great. Any 2 pole flasher will work.

I need the switch box that goes at the lower column. 1972 FJ40. Do you have one?

If you need the switch that mounts on the column you can still buy it from the dealer. I just bought one the other day. If you need the relay that mounts under the dash I might have an extra one.

I need this part. Mounts low on the column....I have the signal arm that runs up the length of the column.

You can buy it new from the dealer.

Cruiser corps also has them

on the Toyota dealer part what does the end of the wiring harness look like?

Mine is the rectangular brick with flat male leads

I have the same end as yours. The new one comes with bullet connectors so I cut them off and spliced the old connector on.

I have successfully replaced my switch...but my left signal still doesn't work. Anyone know if there is an aftermarket relay I can try? I can not seem to locate an original, and would hat to spend hundreds when I can spend 10's.

It is not the flasher if the right one works...
Pull your Hazards on... Do all 4 lights work? If yes then you can rule out bad grounds, bad bulbs, bad fuses...
If the left still does not work when you turn on the Hazards then it's probably a bad ground: ie the light housing is not making good contact with the metal body.
FYI it could still be the switch. Those switches have to be positioned just right on the column or you will not be able to get the lever to go all the way left or right. Test this first by removing the switch from the housing and trying it full left and full right. If it works, you know you need to play around with the position on the column.

Last would be to make sure all the bulbs in all the lights are what they are supposed to be. If you have one that is not pulling the right amount of current THAT can cause the flasher to not work as it is a current driven device. It has to have a certain amount of current flowing before it will flash.
