Original number is 3488477.

Most likely 3488478 on the tag.

Superceded by 3488805.

wondering if the RIGHT unit with thin hazzard knob and turning on by push in instead pull out like laters is available. I have found the new pieces made are the later kind, and nothing like the 70/ first half 71 kind

This PN is with cornering lights and is the later kind... won't fit correctly on push in hazzard kind setup what as far I know is 70 and firts 71 half... just by the thick of hazzard knob. maybe trimming will fit and of course would get the reveresed ON operation

without cornering light, ends on 04 on PN

note the right one on MOST earliers setup ( it does appear diff PN on box ):



this is still pull out ON function

maybe the 3488477 PN is with the push in ON function


here is the later one with cornering lights with 3488805 PN




note the diff on hazzard knob

this is the new one available ( non Mopar )... note the horn switch is not anymore a roller to roll againts the horn track on wheel/adapter, now is really simply a brass stud. Later hazzard button kind



New Mopar part, with cornering light ( new 3488805 piece made ) is with same horn switch kind than the one above( not anymore a roller )


everyone without tilt wheel

On e-bodies, I never heard of pushing IN to get the Hazards to work?!?!?!

BTW, what do you mean by "cornering lights"???

ALso, on the new ones, what's the extra wiring harness for?

the extra harness is for the cornering lights. is an extra lightning for C bodies, not used on the rest of assemblies.

70 and firts 71s Chargers used push in Hazzards I thoght Cudas/Challyes were the same since they shared LOT of parts

Correct. The SUPERCEDED switch for 70 cars is 3488804.

the diff between 04 and 05 is just the extra harness to cornering lamps.

now, would need to confirm the knob size.

this pictured one


is supposelly correct for 70 and maybe 71s ? Maybe first 71 half ? on ebay it was on $500

knob is diff thick

Here are few pictures of a 3488477 1971 turn signal switch that was used on all non-tilt steering wheel Chrysler cars.
Notice that it has the cornering lights harness. This was taped out of the way on cars that did not have cornering lights.

amazing all the diff info and kind of switches, but basically the same

3488805 the same than 3488477, however newer pieces are without roller on horn switch stud.

then 3488804 is the same without cornering lamp harness.

But if E bodies doesn't have cornering lamps should use 3488804... right ?

then we have 2947905... right piece to 70 E body, maybe also first 71 half

then I have in B bodies the same than 2947905 but with PUSH IN to knob ON... maybe 2947503 ?

If you have a key light like the one below, you need a 2947905 turn signal switch. If you don't, you need the 3488477 or 3488804-5 switch.

GREAT INFO!!! thanks.

My car does have whoever the key courtesy light, diff than that one, but steering collar have a cutout for that. I mounted recently. It had before a plastic plug to fill the cutout bolted at same point. Removed the plug and fit the light.

of course we are talking about diff years and bodies, but trying to make a further info research, about what and where was used that or this setup

Nice pics Snoopy! Here's a couple to go with them for NachoRT74

70 E body on the left, 71-74 E body on the right.
The change over was in 71 whenever the assembly line ran out of the older style.

I believe that's right. I've taken apart several E body columns, and haven't found one of those cornering light switches yet.

If you needed to though, you could probably use it and tape them out of the way like Snoopy said.

I think the cornering light switches were C body right?

yes, defintelly that is!!!

I was aware about that diff on B body models since secodn 71 half production, but I though E bodies were the same, specially being all were same years setups and same PUSH IN selection to LIGHT ON hazzards like on B bodies.

Why would use two diff switches on B and E bodies benig same design and size ?

Yes C bodies.

Now, maybe the replacement 3488805 part maybe is being made to get a generic part to everything, and simply don't using the parts not needing. No need to remake two diff parts ( 04 and 05 ) for that.

However I don't like those NEW 3488805 BEING MADE, without the roller on horn switch.

Snoopy, since you posted those pics.

DID YOU FIND SOME DIFF BETWEEN 3488805 AND 3488477 SWITCHES ? I find on pics they are the same

except for flasher or hazzard words casted and arrow.

My 04 switch turns on PULLING OUT the knob ( NOS, not a replacement )

I haven't looked at them under a magnifying glass, but one obvious difference is in the wording on the knob.
3488805 - Hazard
3488477 - Flasher

The shaft diameter of the knob is the same. I've taken a 70 style knob from a broken switch, and put it on a good 71 switch by drilling out the rivets and replacing them with tiny screws with nuts.

Works good.

3488805 is that the correct one for a 71 RR with a early build date? I'm going to need one for my car soon. No tilt BTW. Anyone know where to get one?
Thanks

Chryco Psyco said Standard part # TW7 would work and it cost $30 versus the over $100 some want. Now this was a year ago so hard telling what the cost is now.

thast what I said, thats the only diff I can note... but maybe the ON position it could be a diff ? dunno... I'm telling that just for the arrow pointing out.

--------------

cataclysm80... I have parted out some switches too for internal parts. Inner tabs are the pieces that commonly get damage. In fact a damaged switch can be fixed, opening and bending the tabs, then clening contacts and assmbly again with tiny machined scres and nuts OR, using a wire solder to melt down the plastic studs. I'm thinking on that to fix My buddy's 70 Charger, beingg that I haven't able to find the right switch around.

----------------

71rm23... yes, as stated by 472 R/T SE, you can find aftermarket pieces cheaper than pentastar pieces that works the same, just some diff colored wires and plastic parts. REALY REALLY if you ask me the correct Pentastar part will be the 3488804 unit, since thats is the one without conrering lamps, BUT is not available as new Mopar replacement parts, just NOS. So 3488805 ( if not aftermarket TW7 ) will be a replacement part, but without use the cornering harness.

I was able to get 2 NOS 3488804 switches in less than $30, one of them never arrived ( thats was the reason to get the second one )

I haven't looked at them under a magnifying glass, but one obvious difference is in the wording on the knob.
3488805 - Hazard
3488477 - Flasher



71rm23... yes, as stated by 472 R/T SE, you can find aftermarket pieces cheaper than pentastar pieces that works the same, just some diff colored wires and plastic parts.

Thanks Nacho. Sorry if I'm not clear on one thing..Are you talking about the front side marker lights in refering to "conering lights"
Thanks again

The cornering lights are on C-Bodies and Imperials only. The are on the front only and they do not blink, they just supply additional lighting when you turn.

Chryco Psyco said Standard part # TW7 would work and it cost $30 versus the over $100 some want. Now this was a year ago so hard telling what the cost is now.




Where do you get these $30 turn signal switches???

I know this is an old thread but I need some guidance.

I bought a MOPAR Turn signal Switch (part number on the box is 1-04293103) that was supposed to be for a 70 Challenger over a year ago. I'm just now doing the rebuild on the column and notice that the hazard button is larger as some of you mentioned before. The connector is correct. So, are you guys saying that I need to swap my old hazard button to this new switch or is there a new switch out of the box that has the correct narrower hazard button for a 70 Challenger?

Thanks, Joe

I've used one of those $30 aftermkt switches, the turn signal cancelling cam lever broke in less than a week.
I'll stick with New Mopar as long as I can get them.

I just installed a 3488805 switch in a 1970 B body. Had to narrow the base of the "hazard" button to fit in the narrower column slot. Took less that a minute with a sanding drum in a dremel.

Hi Joe. Yes, if you want your switch to look correct for 70, you'll need to drill out the rivets on your new switch and put a correct 70 black flasher button in it. OR spend high dollar hunting for a correct 70 switch.

If you're not concerned about correctness on this specific part, you could swap on a 71-74 steering column housing to match your switch, OR do some grinding on the new switch to make it fit your 70 column.

Thanks for the replies. My 70 Turnsignal switch was good but since I was replacing all the wiring on the car I was going to replace it also. I hate to drill out the rivets on a switch that is still good. I also kind of hate to cut on the original housing to make the new one fit. Wiring on the old one looks good too. I may just clean this one up and use it until it dies and then swap out the hazard buttons later as you guys have suggested.

You'll need to swap out your original button onto the new assembly...Be careful, delicate and take your time during the process...Now, am I reading this correct??? The original still works ???If that's the case just clean it up and use it until something goes bad...{How often do you really use the 4-ways?}...Then you'll need to do the swap...Cutting the column components would be the last option on the list IMO...

Just found this thread doing a search, I'm surprised it came up as it's been three years... FWIW lots of good info & pictures, thanks to those who contributed..

Could this be archived?
