Guest JDriv63 Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Hello all. I am new to the forum and new to posting on forums.. I am looking to replace the broken turn signal switch on the tilt steering 1963 Buick Riviera. From what I've seen so far these are hard to come by. If you could point me in the right direction I would appreciate it. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seafoam65 Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Try contacting Gene Guarnere at 610-359-8901. If he doesn't have what you needhe may know who does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
48Super Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 If your car does not have the optional cornering lights, there are reproduction switches available which I believe will fit your car. Take a look at this:http://www.ebay.com/itm/64-66-Skylark-Gran-Sport-Turn-Signal-Switch-with-Tilt-New-Replaces-Delco-D6220-/180801780787?fits=Year%3A1966|Make%3ABuick&hash=item2a18a03c33&vxp=mtr Check the number of contacts in the switch connector and if it is the same as the reproduction part I think you will be OK. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JDriv63 Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Thank you for your help.. I'm not sure if I have corner lights due to lights bot working.. This is a new car to me picked it up to restore so I know little about it at this point.. The switch in question has the 5 pins at the top in a triangular configuration and then has three pins at the bottom left of the switch in a left right center configuration for a total of 8 pins. I need to figure out how to attach a picture.. If you could give me some info on the switch I have that would be great.. When I look up 1963 Buick Riviera turn signal switch the switch I have is the first to pop up under images Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1965rivgs Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 The pictured switch has the cornering light option. The three terminals at the lower left are for cornering lights. Tom Mooney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JDriv63 Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 So if I get the aftermarket 5 pin part the front turn signal lights will blink rather than stay on.. Is that the deal? I don't know what corner lights are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JDriv63 Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Sorry yes it is 6 pins and 3 at the bottom total of 9 pins.. I see know that one of the pins was missing on my switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RivNut Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 The classifieds in the ROA's Riview shows vendors who are parting out cars. You could also try CTC Auto Ranch out of Denton, TX or Desert Valley salvage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
