2002 Turn Signal Stalk Question

[JMcFly]

Is there a different turn signal stalk? When I hit it to turn left it’s pretty much touching my knee.

Mine too, and I have a 1984. I am 6ft 1, so I think that contributes to the problem. My old BII doesn't have tilt wheel, but I am assuming if it had that option, it would help with this problem.

The Explorer one is different for whatever reason I think, it might help things

I noticed when I look up replacements there’s two types. One like what I have and another with a more pronounced elbow that moves it higher.

There are two styles as far as the orientation of the stalk lever. One that swoops up and one that swoops down. It seems rather random on which one they use. I don't know if they are interchangeable or not either or why they would install one over the other.

I would suggest trying one that swoops up and see if it works but electrical items tend to be nonreturnable and it takes quite a bit of work to tear apart part of the dash so you can get the steering column clam shells off in order to get at the connector(s) and the mounting hardware. I guess it depends on how motivated you are, and whether you are willing to eat the cost if it turns out the other style of switch won't work.
