Feeler - Early 1600 Hazard Switch

Recommended Posts

This switch came off of an early 1600 ('67?, '68?). It mounts under the steering column and is push/pull. It looks like other early dash switches.

I have no use for it on my 1968 2002 and would like to sell it. I have no idea what it is worth, but figure that it is kinda rare.

Anyone interested?

Sherman sold a few of these, NOS, a couple months ago, ~45-60 bucks as I recall? I'd offer 1/2 that if it works and the red knob isn't all crazed/cracked.

why list 'em...they're all projects anyways!

The hazard switch that I have is not the red push/pull flasher that a lot of early cars have. This is a push/pull switch that mounts underneath the steering column. The knob is similar to those that surround the gauge cluster. From what I am told this is an early 1600 style flasher switch.

That's not the flasher from an early 1600. Mine is original and is red like the one that mounted on the dash in later years. In the 67 it does mount under the steering column on a plastic shroud. The base may be correct (not sure) there, but somone swapped the knob for a dash knob instead of the red flasher.

That's how I pulled it off. If it really was a knob from the dash that someone swapped then it should have a symbol on it, right? Plus, the red hazard pull lights up with the flasher. This switch does not look like it supports an illuminated knob configuration.

Hmm, that's odd. You are saying your car has the red hazard pull that lights up AND this other switch below the wheel? Where is the red pull located, on the left corner of the dash like 68+ cars? This seems really odd that a PO would tie the two switches together like that. The early knobs had a silver center with no emblems (all four upper ones) so a PO could have used one of them.

I should clarify that the switch in the picture above came off of a 196? BMW 1600 that someone was parting out(no mine) and was the only hazard switch. My 1968 BMW 2002 does not have this switch and does have the red push/pull switch on the drivers side of the dash. So there are two different cars with two different hazard switch configurations.

The 1600 that this switch (the one in the picture) came off of had a three piece euro dash with the plasti-chrome lower trim. This dash does not have a mounting hole for the red push/pull switch on the driver's side.

Sorry about the confusion, hope this clears things up.

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
