    The direction signal switch in my steering column is dead. Can anyone identify what year jeep it is from so I can get the correct replacement?
    picture attached.
    Thanks

    That's a GM steering column that Jeep used in XJs and YJs. Maybe CJs?

    I had the same one in my 92 S10.

    I don't believe I have ever seen wood used on the lower w/s frame...does that just cover the sheetmetal?

    The entire dash is solid birch with a ployester finish. This was the work of the PO. Unfortunately he did not fully understand the stresses that a wooden dash would be subject to especially one in a fiber glass tub and used for plowing. He should have used a birch plywood because his dash is literally coming apart at the seams. He put a lot of time into this jeep and regardless of its problems it does work and look neat.
