Hello all,
I have recently acquired a 1968 F100. The electrical system in fair condition. Most of the electrical works since I got the truck with the exception of the Turn signal/Brake light/Steering column switch. The turn signal switch on the steering column is physically broken and the wires look like they were cut years ago.
I am using this diagram as reference:
http://www.fordification.com/tech/wiring/68-23.jpg
I have replaced two flashers one for turn signal and one for emergency hazard both were cylinder shape. I replaced the brake pedal (stop switch)
Here's what works:
Park lights - half pull on on the light switch the front and rear lights are on.
Headlights - full pull on on the light switch the headlights turn on park lights turn off (true to stock)
Brake lights - I connected each of the brake light wires #9 -Green w/ Orange stripe and #5 Orange w/ Blue stripe to the green wire (810 in the diagram)
Here's what doesn't work:
Every time I connect any of the turn signal switch wires or combination of wires to the 12v #44 Blue wire from the turn signal flasher, they all blink as if the emergency hazard lights are on.
I cannot isolate any one or two bulbs to flash, any wire connected to the #44 12v will make all bulbs flash. I cannot isolate one side of the truck bulbs to flash and show I am turning left or right.
I understand that the emergency hazard switch may be an option for this truck but I did have the additional flasher and cannot locate any emergency hazard switch.
Wires I am working with (Turn Signal Switch Wires):
#44 Blue 12v
Front Left Driver #3 Green w/ White stripe
Rear Left Driver #9 Green with orange stripe
Front Right Passenger #2 White w/ Blue stripe
Rear Right Passenger #5 Orange w/ Blue Stripe
#10 As mentioned above - I connected each of the brake light wires #9 -Green w/ Orange stripe and #5 Orange w/ Blue stripe to the green wire (#10/ from #810#/810A in the diagram)

I am using this article as a reference to quickly get a functional turn signal switch using a 3 position (on-off-on) toggle:
