After my grandson sitting behind the wheel “driving” the Fury - and, me forgetting to remove the turn signal lever before his visit - the pot metal screw hole in the switch plate took a beating, and the lever started to flop around. Fortunately, I had NOS plate in my stash, so I undertook what I thought would be an easy repair job.
Documenting as I go…
…because I’m forgetful in my doddering old age
New switch plate is in - and the lever is nice and snug!
But wait - the driver’s side front isn’t blinking. Nor is the dash indicator! Both light green wires are tied together in the female side of the connector at the base of the steering column. The driver’s side rear is blinking (as is front, rear, and dash indicator for the passenger side), so that means there’s an issue in the switch 
I separated the connector, popped the leads out of the male side, and pulled the wires out of the column with the switch housing, making sure to drag a chaser wire behind when time comes to pull them back. There was just enough slack in the horn wire to give me access to the screws holding the switch onto the housing, and remove it.
I could see the contact for the light green wire through one end of the housing, and that it was a bit corroded - I took an awl and scraped the contact with the tip, and it brightened up considerably…
But I buzzed it out with a VOM. Still no love.
I guess my next step is to try to open it up and repair it, but perhaps I am in the market for a NOS one (P/N 1841724. There’s a different one for cars without power steering, don’t know why). Does anyone have any leads? The Spiegels checked their inventory, but they don’t have it.
First stop, my favorite cleaner - isopropyl alcohol:
