I have a problem, my new NOS turn signal switch has an emergency flasher button that is bigger than the orig so it wont push in. Does anyone know if there is a dif switch I need? Did I just get shipped the wrong part? My car is column shift auto w/power steering. Here is a pic of what I have. I cant find a switch that looks like my orig anywhere.

probably repro part.

there are LOTS of those switches around and I have noted SEVERAL differences on them. Dunno which one is better.

RD, rebuilt once a Column and sold. He used one of those switches, generic Mopar part to be able to use on C bodies with extra cornering lamps, what in our case wouldn't be used.

The hazard button is bigger on the new switch. My column has a smaller notch "cutout" for the orig hazard switch. Once I installed the new switch the hazard button wont press inward.

yeah I got the problem you have... the problem is is hard to say if there is one better than the other, OR if there is some diff between Mopar parts, being they made more generic allong the years to save from diff parts production

On pic I'm noticing the horn stud is A STUD and at least the one in my car does have a roler on end

Yes, original horn post has a roller. Did you ever find a factory match for your? I've been thinking about just reshaping the button so it will work, but would prefer the correct look.

I've been informed the hazard/4 way button has to be ground to fit.
