Does anyone know best way to remove turn signal switch from 69 Newport w/ tilt & telescopic steering column? Having trouble removing collar to access switch.
Is this not covered in the Chrysler Factory Service Manual? Free download at www.mymopar.com . T & T steering columns were only on Chryslers and Imperials, as Plymouth and Dodges had the tilt column only, as a general rule, by the time the Fuselage Cars happened. Yet T&T columns were in all of the 1966-68 C-bodies. 1969 is unique as the ignition switch was still on the instrument panel, on the left side of the column, ala Fords of that era. You might find a good exploded view in the 1969 Chrysler Parts Manual, free download from the above website, too. Might even be a Chrysler MasterTech video you can watch at the same website?
Once you get the steering wheel off and the ignition lock plate under it, the switch should be easy to get to. Unplug the harness where it plugs into the vehicle harness toward the bottom of the column. Tie a small wire to the end, turn the connector so it is parallel to the column itself and gently pull it to the top, leaving the wire "in the column". No need to get any deeper into the column, if it works like I suspect it can.
Perhaps this one is different? Perhaps Chrysler had Saginaw Gear build it differently inside for some reason?
If the above link does not work, the web address still will if inputted manually.
Just some thoughts,

We have the service manual. What we can't figure out is how to remove the tilt actuator collar.If the above link does not work, the web address still will if inputted manually.

I hate to tell you this, but yes it is. The FSM doesn't call it out as Saginaw.No not a Saginaw
The Saginaw steering column mentioned in the FSM is the one they used with the automatic trans and had no tilt/tele. They called it out because there was also a Chrysler built column. The FSM does this with their steering pumps too. The .94 steering pump is a Saginaw built pump, although they don't call it out as such.
