DIRECTIONAL SIGNAL
Directional signal assemblies provide as standard pro-
duction equipment a lane changing feature and hazard
warning system on all model applications. Two different
design switches are used as shown in Figure 55. Major
difference between the two units is that one type has can-
celling and detent springs which are serviceable, other-
wise both units are not repairable and must be replaced
as an assembly in service.
Due to the integral design relationship of the signal
switch and the energy absorbing steering column, refer-
ence should be made to Steering, Section 9 of this manual
whenever any service operations are performed on the
steering column. The directional signal switch replace-
ment procedures covered in this section are intended to
supplement the detail service operations outlined in Sec-
tion 9.
Special note should be taken of the fact that different
signal flasher units are used in Chevrolet models depend-
ent on the number of lamps to be operated. The hazard
warning unit, even though an integral component of the
directional switch assembly, requires the installation of
an additional flasher unit in the fuse panel capable of op-

CHEVELLE, CHEVY II AND CAMARO
The Type "E" two-speed electric windshield wiper
assembly (fig. 64) incorporates a non-depressed type
(blades park approximately 2" above windshield molding)
motor and gear train. The rectangular, 12 volt, com-
pound wound motor is coupled to a train consisting of a
helical drive gear at the end of the motor armature shaft,
an intermediate gear and pinion assembly, and an output
gear and shaft assembly. The crank arm is attached to
the output gear shaft.
Two switches, connected in parallel, control the start-
ing, stopping and parking of the Type "E" wiper motor.
The manually operated start, stop switch is located on
the instrument panel, while the cam operated park switch
is located in the wiper gear box.
