If it is like the one in a 78 MIdget you can do this. Take the cover off
the column. Right next to the turn signal stalk is a set of reed
switches. they are three peice of flat brass on top of each other. You
can clean them with a points file. All the stuff should work now. Or at
least it did on the Midget.
