After decades of use the cancelling cam breaks, the contacts burn and the harness gets brittle. Common signs are signals that will not cancel, one side that will not flash, a dead high beam or a stalk that flops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis part is hard to find new. Mid America lists 211 953 513 J at $245.99 and shows it out of stock. A switch with a fresh harness avoids splicing old, brittle wires and gives you working signals, which you need to be legal on the road.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisconnect the battery first.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemove the steering wheel and column covers.
