74 Duster issues

Hopefully 440roadrunner will chime in here, but here we go.



Good friend of mine has a 74 Duster and shes been having issues with the ignition switch / lock cylinder. Loose and popping out of the column and then the car would shut off.

Then she'd have to restart the car and go.

Also had issues with turn signals intermittently not working.



I went over to her house, pulled the wheel off, pulled the column apart and replaced the lock cylinder. Good to go. Nice and tight and works like new.

Put everything back together, no turn signals AT ALL. Hazards work only on DRIVER side.

Swapped the flashers for hazards and turn signals, then nothing worked, but both flashers clicked as they should.

The car is a wiring mess, but I'm (hopefully) thinking its the $70 turn signal switch that I can buy for her and put it in, or possibly the $16 cam cancel for the turn signals.

Just wondering if anyone has had some sort of issue with the later 70s cars.

I just want to get her car back up to speed, it's her daily...

Thanks guys.
