turn signal switch

[David Anderson]

I'm sad because my eagle came with foot push button turn signals on the floor to the left and right of the light dimmer switch.  The right one broke today.  They are momentary push.  Where would I find a replacement.  Very unusual, but very convenient.  I've been searching the web, but no luck

That is a novel arrangement, and it keeps the left foot employed, but I assume there is no automatic release after the turn. Is there a indicator light on the dash to remind you the turn light is on, or can you hear the flasher click?

Standard transit configuration to this day.

The turn signal stays on, only as long as your foot is on the button.

Choose your bus parts source and call 'em, instant gratification.

happy coaching!

Looks like the closest to it is the floor starter switch.  Not sure if it would fit however.

Never have seen that setup in person before. Was it used only on buses with automatic transmission? If used on buses with a clutch, was there also a traditional hand-operated lever on the steering column?

Don't blow air horn or flash high beams when pushing turn signal buttons.lol

Mine on the DL are hard to get mixed up the 2 turn signals are on the lower level and the horn and dimmer are on the upper level the horn location is a little backwards for me  ,I like the foot operated turn signals

Richard -

As Buswarrior said, that's a standard transit bus turn signal system that's been used since the early 1950's, and, as you know, transit buses are nearly always automatics.

Never seen it used with a manual gearbox coach, those have always had column-mounted stalks.

FWIW & HTH. . .

Thanks guys,  I couldn't find it by name search but found several from Clifford's part number.  He is the google of bus parts.  I ordered a pair and the should be on their way
