<VV> LM Turn Signal Switch

[FrankDuVal]

Ah, but the subject vehicles are 65 & 66, so they already have the good 
turn signal switch. Now, the modification would give him 4 way flashers 
(with more wiring modifications).

These switches do need cleaning of the contacts for these problems. But, 
abrading them can also cause other problems, as they are delicate. Try 
DeOxit (spray or liquid) and very gentle abrading of the contacts. Start 
with clean white paper and Deoxit, then work up to 1000 or 600 grit 
sandpaper with DeOxit.
