'88 vs '89 Steering Column Switch Tree=Interchangeable?

[luckyguy101]

I'm not that familiar with the '88 7MGTE lights and wiper control levers. Does anyone know if the switch tree off of an '89 7MGTE will fit the '88? Thanks!

Yes, they are interchangable, but the slipring has an extra wire on the 89. Easiest way is to grab an 89 steering wheel as well, but the slipring from the 88 can be put on the 89 combination switch as well.

So, does this mean that a steering column switch tree from an '89 can be used on an '88? If so, anything about the slip ring that needs to be addressed in this application? Thanks mucho for your expertise in this matter!

I believe I answered those questions in my original post.
