Our turn signal switches are made on the FoMoCo original tooling. If you have replaced your sequential unit in the trunk with one of our new solid state sequential units and are still having problems then the turn signal switch is most likely the culprit as the only other part to the system is the wiring harness itself. For 1968, the relay under the dash almost always is weak (pulsates dimly instead of distinct blinking) but its sole purpose is to illuminate the directional arrows on the dash and does not affect the operation of the tail lights. Often when your brake lights are not working the turn signal switch is the culprit as the brake lights feed through the turn signal switch.
This switch is also correct for the 1968 Ford Thunderbird tilt column, without factory cruise control, meaning there will be an extra wire when used on Cougar or Mustang.
Replaces Ford part # C8SZ-13341-B.
