Will a signal switch without cruise control work on a 1990 Volvo 240 DL?
I have a bad turn signal switch on my Volvo. It’s the left-hand rod that you use to control the turn signals, brights, and cruise control. It’s having both mechanical and electrical failures and needs to be replaced.
However, this part is hard to find and very expensive. On ebay it’s going for $500 to $700.
I’ve also found a switch for a 1990 Volvo 240 without cruise control for about $50.
Will those switches fit and work in my Volvo — albeit sacrificing cruise control?
Or is that cheaper switch somehow just totally incompatible?
Usually the functions are compatible except you loose the cruise.
Check the pin outs of the connectors as the functions are linked to the wire colors... you might find that the cruise switch has 3 connectors to the two for the other switch.
If the switch can be fitted, you may even be able to add an extra switch or switches to keep cruise once you work out what the control is.
I had a 240 estate and sourced many parts from scrap yards - full electric locking, full electric windows etc so checking the wiring is a must.
