Default Turn signal lever flopping around - 62 GP

Hey guys,

I'm just wondering how difficult it might be to replace or repair my turn signal switch. The lever is kind of flopping around and I think also the source of a problem I'm having with the tail lights. I occasionally get flagged down by people telling me that I have a burnt out tail light. I've gone through all my wiring and have no issues there plus the tail lights do work albeit intermittantly. I think the floppy lever is a symptom of this issue.

I've pulled the steering wheel before to look at this, but it appears I may need to pull the column to get the switch out. Is this right? Typically, when I've pulled the steering wheel before, the screws holding the switch down were loose. I'd tighten them back up and there would be less flop in the lever, but I've never been able to get rid of the play completely, leading me to think the switch needs replacing. Anyone else had this experience and care to impart some wisdom on the subject?

Thanks as always!

Kevin
