i am replacing my turn signal switch and noticed that the stalk is round while most others i see for the 84 model year are square. any ideas on why this is? the switch is original to the car,date coded 3L23.

Sounds like the ones that had horns there instead of on the steering wheel...
No matter where you go, there you are
its not marked for the horn though. ive seen those and they have a horn symbol and an arrow on the end. i'll take a picture of it.
i put a pic in my album. i dont know how to put it here.

Neato, looks like a newer one. Don't know for sure, only been in an aero nose car twice.
No matter where you go, there you are
the 87 and up cars just had one big stalk on the side because there were the buttons around the cluster, so its not from a later car.the switch is original so i don't think someone replaced just the stalk.
I belive right off the top of my mind thats what mine looks like on my 85 gt vert.
1985 Mustang Vert. ~GONE
1988 Nissan 300zx Turbo 54k miles
1996 Ford Windstar
2002 Ford Explorer Sport
are you sure? all ive ever seen are the square ones.Originally Posted by PvtJoker
It almost looks like a Ford service replacement part. I ordered a replacement wiper switch/arm and got something similar looking to that. I returned it because it didn't look original.

Is there something like an "E#-###-####" part number on it?
-Mike
there is no part number on it and no identifying markings.the switch was original though, would that cause you to believe the stalk is original too?
i had to replace the switch because it no longer locked into position for the directionals.have you ever seen a car with this stalk?
I have never seen that stalk before. Just for giggles, try to find pictures of escorts or Lynxs (or rangers) of that time frame. Their switches/levers were setup very similar but with just a bit of a styling change.Originally Posted by V6DR

well i found the answer. i checked the escort/lynx and those are square too. then i recalled that the previous owner had an 87 Cougar and sure enough thats where it came from. i dont get why he would do that??? well at least i have a correct one to put on.
