I need a bit of guidance. I pulled my steering wheel off yesterday and replaced the plastic turn signal cam thingy. I cut the wires off close to the old one and soldered the wires to the new one, then put it all back together, but with my usual luck, I now have no turn signals at all. I tiried adjusting the wire leads on the back to make sure they connect with the contacts, and I think they are OK, but I have nothing.

Suggestions on how to troubleshoot this?

I tried to find the flasher but for the life of me, I can't find it. ( this is a 67).
All 4 lights work with the emergency flashers, so I am assuming that is OK anyway??????

Thoughts?

Our classic turn signal switches don't last long. I've replaced mine twice in 20 years. I'd recommend biting the bullet and buying a whole new switch. That way, you don't have any "unknowns".

I've included a link to a wiring diagram for your car. Notice you have two flashers, one for emergency and one for turn signals. It doesn't show where they are located but maybe it will help.

In my 67 they were just stuck up under the dash near the steering column, there may be some clip that they are supposed to be resting in, but they should be near the column, underneath the dash.

I pulled the dash pad off and the guage cluster and I was able to find both flashers. I replaced them, but still no blinkers. I'm just going to take your advice and replace the entire switch in the column.

Thanks for the assistance.

For 67 I would advise repair cam you have, or buy a replacement switch that cost around $100; many mustang stores carry it. The cam you probably ended up with (cost some $7-10) is a very inaccurate chinese reproduction.
Also look at emergency flasher switch through which current goes to turn signal cam. OE switch has very flimsy contacts, likely to fail.
