My turn signal switch is shot
I called Hill's for a new one no dice. It looks like I am out of luck. Any of you know where I might find one?

Re: My turn signal switch is shot
I suspect lots of items are currently back-ordered thru most of the remaining parts suppliers but, is that the only place you tried?

Re: My turn signal switch is shot
If its the same as a '54 Ranch Wagon. I have an extra one that I got when I changed the manual trans column to an automatic column. Judging by the wires its original. Can't speak to its condition. Yours for the cost of a USPS small flat rate box.

Re: My turn signal switch is shot
Well, I have at least 3 turn signal switches, don't remember if some are '56 or 57. I do know one is for '55 Customline/Fairlane Ford-o-Matic. But I don't know what you are working on ???

Re: My turn signal switch is shot
I guessed once.
It turned out to be a fifty-year marriage to my LITTLE THUMBSCREW ... The 1956-57 BIRD TSS is unique.

Re: My turn signal switch is shot
The doors did not fit the 56 T-Bird as they should. So I decided to find out why. I got in a lot more work then I planed. I put new 1/4 panel on passenger side, new hinge pins, rockers were welded wrong, super back full of plastic {Bondo]. Benn a month so far but about ready for paint. We will see. We installed Air Conditioning.Special water pump, HD Radiator with Fans.

Re: My turn signal switch is shot
From what I can determine the switch I have from my '54 Ranch Wagon is part number: B5A-13341-AAnd a '56 T Bird takes switch part number: B6SZ-13341-A So it sounds like the one I have won't work for your Bird. Sorry. But if you still want it PM me again and I'll get it in the mail to you.

Re: My turn signal switch is shot
- SUPPOSEDLY - The 56 FORD AND BIRD have the same switch the only difference being the length of the harnesses. I have a 56 FORD TSS somewhere in my collection and will post photo(s) if interested.

I need a turn Signal Switch for a 56 T-Bird. Then I can put my Steering back together.

I found photo(s) of the FORD TSS on EvilBay. The photos are below. See if the pin-outs are the same as yours. Can you post detailed photos of yours? It may help in the future.

That cam is for a later model FORD (for anyone's info). Below are some more ATTACHMENTS for anyone's future reference. The 1957 FORD/BIRD wiring schematic (I don't have a 56 schematic - 1956- 1958 FORD SW is the same) shows pin-outs and wire colors to be the same.
