What year is the Delta 88 and did it come with the signal level ? Are you replacing the old one?

He has an 85 Delta 88.
The service manual has a good explanation but mine is at home.
I can scan the page this weekend for ya.

Time to get a manual on order, as it seems you will be keeping this car for a long while!

DeltaDevil88

Thanks would love that scan!!!, are you back in town yet?

Lady72nRob71

Of course I am back, otherwise I would not be on the computer!
When i travel, I usually leave all things computer and work behind. Most of the time there is no access anyway...

Ping me (this thread) Sat AM or Sunday AM in case I forget. Neighbors and I will be smoking big stuffed pizzas from Papa Murphy and I anticipate there will be abundant beer consumption as well!

Hmmm you owe me a wrenching lesson remember!!!! maybe we can link up soon.

Lady72nRob71

Yep, and here it is:

"Lefty loosey, righty tighty!"

Yes we need to, before it becomes too hot...

I would like like this infomation. Mine works but it's all mesed up

I think removal on the steering wheel is required, at least that's what I was told

Lady72nRob71

It almost looks too easy - no steery wheel removal required!

The IP sound insulator is the under dash panel. The cruise switch harness is thin with about 4-5 wires on it.

You may substitute "mechanic's wire" for regular wire. Something thin and flexible to attach to the cruise connector which will be drawn up through the column upon removal. The new switch connector will be connected to the wire and gently pulled back down through the column. Tape the connector and wire in a triangular way to reduce the chance of it hanging up on anything (avoid 90* or square angles).

Before pulling the stalk, note the position of it so you can reinstall it in the same orientation.



While this page looks cut off, there were no pictures or much else on the other page but step 6, which was "close hood". I am sure we do not care about that one...

DeltaDevil88

Excellent so the leve just pulls straight out the column???

Lady72nRob71

That's how I read it...
That is why it sounds TOO easy! Hope it IS that easy!!
