hey dave, i have figured out that living with manual canceling turn signals is better than the alternative.

Good morning WobbleFoot,

While a significant amount of D.C. stuff is made in China, one thing I've found is that you can e-mail them before ordering with a list of part numbers and they'll tell you where they're all made. That way you can choose which ones to buy and which ones to find elsewhere.

Because Carpenters sells those junk Tawain Switches I sell the REAL ONES that are left from Ford, might be more money but worth in the end,, Actual price that the Mfg in Tawain sells to people in US is .05 before shipping and not worth :2cents: , last one I tried taking back apart came aprt in my hand :cry:
