The Turn Signal Switch – Manual Transmission is an OE-style steering column electrical restoration component designed for 1973–1977 Ford F-Series pickup trucks equipped with manual transmissions, including F100, F150, F250, and F350 models. This switch restores correct factory operation of the turn signals and associated column functions specific to manual transmission steering columns. It is a critical component for classic truck restoration parts projects focused on maintaining proper functionality and factory-correct configuration.
From the factory, Ford used different turn signal switch designs depending on transmission type. Manual transmission columns utilize a specific switch configuration that differs from automatic applications. Over time, original switches often fail due to worn internal contacts, brittle wiring, or age-related electrical degradation. When failure occurs, turn signal operation may become intermittent or completely inoperative. Replacing the switch restores dependable operation and preserves the original steering column function.
Manufactured as an OE-style reproduction, this turn signal switch matches original specifications for connector style, wire length, mounting geometry, and internal function. It is engineered to integrate directly with factory-style manual transmission steering columns used in 1973–1977 F-Series trucks. Proper reproduction ensures compatibility with original wiring harnesses and column components without altering factory layout.
This switch is intended only for manual transmission applications and should not be used on automatic transmission columns. Selecting the correct version is essential to ensure proper fit and correct electrical operation.
Offered as X-Parts by Auto Metal Direct, this turn signal switch is a third-party OE-style replacement selected to meet AMD’s standards for fit and application accuracy. X-Parts provide dependable electrical restoration solutions when AMD all-new tooling components are not required, while still supporting factory-correct restorations.
This component directly replaces Ford part number D3TZ-13341-A.
Auto Metal Direct is a team of true car guys with years of experience in sheet metal reproduction, car restoration and paint/body work. We believe that quality is not subjective! Our mission is to provide the best customer experience for the Ford, Mopar and GM classic car markets - both in products and in service.
Our panels are made from proper gauge steel and include all correct-as-original clips, tabs, flanges, bends and seams. Each time a prototype body panel comes off of a new tooling, we test fit it on a car. The marked up prototype is then used to change and improve the tools, and a new prototype is produced. This procedure might be repeated multiple times but, once the part is finally approved, you can be assured of a quality part.
