Re: Help! turn signal switch reassembly order

I'm at my witts end with the four locking tabs.

I am inserting the assembly housing while making sure the 4 tabs are lined up correctly, then pushing as hard as I can to seat them on the housing. As a reference, the turn signal lever is approximately 35* counter clockwise to where it should be. I am UNABLE to rotate the housing clockwise to lock it onto the column.

The top left tab seems to be the worst... it simply will not go on far enough to get behind the tab. At this point I am ready to weld the damn thing to it!



Here are a few pictures with it pressed straight on. I removed the shifter housing so I could get a look at whats going on





Someone please let me know if I am doing this incorrectly. More than a bit bummed to only have my truck back on the road for 2 days and then leaving it wounded in my garage...
