starfireelvis 8 Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 ...for car with cornering lamps, non-tilt steering wheel. Part number is 910813. Thanks for any help! Link to post Share on other sites
fmbjogger 10 Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 I needed one for my '67 98. They are very hard to come by on their own and I ended up buying an entire column from a seller here ( tilt/telescopic but no turning lamps). It was black and I painted it olive to match my interior. Finding another whole column might be your best bet. Good Luck ! Link to post Share on other sites
starfireelvis 8 Posted October 15, 2011 Author Share Posted October 15, 2011 Thanks for the suggestion; I have managed to come across a couple, but the costs are fairly prohibitive; not sure yet in my determination if these are fair market values, or if they are as out of line as they appear to be, IMHO. This is for a friend, who I think I can safely say just wants them to work, and does not want to plunk down serious coinage just to get her turn signals working again. Also, want to do it once and do it right, so if we're going to go to the trouble of getting into the steering column, might as well put the right switch in that accommodates the cornering lamps, as this car is replete with many factory options.

rsd9699 10 Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Have you used the factory shop manual to be sure it is indeed the switch? Check with NAPA and see if available through the Standards brand? Or have a govmo dealer run an obsolete check for dealer stock? It is most likely the same on Buicks and Cadillacs for the 65/66 year models with corning lamps.Ron Link to post Share on other sites
starfireelvis 8 Posted October 16, 2011 Author Share Posted October 16, 2011 Was told by one of the vendors which part number it is; my friend Paul verified the part number, says it was discontinued February, 1981. Link to post Share on other sites
rsd9699 10 Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 It can be discontinued by govmo and still be in a dealers inventory - a dealer inventory search is then required - the two don't seem to be tied together when I searched for 95 Buick rear bumper shocks a year ago - I had to get the parts guy to do it by request - he only checked govmo's inventory.Ron Link to post Share on other sites
Oldsfan 27 Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 I searched dealer inventory and there were none to be found. I also ran a couple of obsolete searches and came up empty handed. If I could find him one, he'd already have it.Paul Link to post Share on other sites

starfireelvis 8 Posted November 27, 2011 Author Share Posted November 27, 2011 Nice ride! The alloy wheels are a great touch! Again, any ideas for where I can locate a switch are appreciated; I actually have found a couple of sources, but their prices are quite prohibitive, though if push comes to shove we may have to bite the bullet accordingly.

starfireelvis 8 Posted January 10, 2012 Author Share Posted January 10, 2012 OK, a quick question here for the parts gurus and interchangeability folks out there. To reiterate, the '65-'66 full-size Olds turn signal switch for cars without tilt-wheel, but with cornering lamps, is 910813; I have come across a turn signal switch for a '66 Olds Toronado, no tilt-wheel, but with cornering lamps; that part number is 911088. While I do think the person who has one is being honest in describing them as interchangeable, would like more confirmation one way or another if possible. Link to post Share on other sites
copper128 0 Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Have you tried contacting Shee-Mar? They make almost all the reproduction TS switches. Many of them are interchangable as long as you use the entire assembly (don't mix switch/cam pieces) and have the right connector. They should be able to tell you what works.www.shee-mar.com Link to post Share on other sites
starfireelvis 8 Posted February 9, 2012 Author Share Posted February 9, 2012 I appreciate the word regarding Shee-Mar; will keep that reference handy. I do believe I have found the switch I am looking for in the meantime. But, once again, thanks for the tip for me, plus for future viewers of this thread who may need help in this area as well...
