Sure thing. Part won't be in until Friday. I only found 1 place that had the part "with tilt".

There are potentially 4 distinct turn/hazard switches for the 4 distinct column configurations:

Yes, the replacement cams are garbage. So are most aftermarket switches. The one I got from RA went back to them.

Oh man, I ordered mine from RA as well. Shoot.
Well I guess we will see what happens.
Thanks for the additional information.

Not dumb at all. Yes, I replaced all of them since they were old and they are pretty inexpensive.
Also, when I move that turn signal cam around or press in it a certain way,, I was getting intermittent flashing for the hazards/blinkers and taillights when I stepped on the brake pedal. Thanks

The part came in and I got it installed. I now have rear brake lights hazards and blinkers. Now I have to figure out why the indicator lights are not flashing on the dash.
I've checked the fuses and they are good. I'll have to see if I missed something.

Did you put the column back together?

The dash indicators for the turn signals/hazards are not dependent on the switch, or the column, or a fuse. They're directly wired in parallel to the front signals. So if a front signal light is on for any reason, the corresponding indicator should be, too. If it's not, either its wire is broken, or its bulb is burned, or its return (ground) is open (disconnected/high resistance).

Sounds like somethings grounded out. To me. Or burned out in the cluster
