Need some direction. I think mine went bad. Got a new one from the local part store....but my issue is mine has only 4 prongs and all the ones i either see locally or on line have a 5th prong. Also they dont have a metal mounting bracket or any place for screws to mount to the column for that matter.

My question is can i use this one some how? Is the 5th prong for something that was added for other years? Does the plastic body of the new switch just clip to the column somehow?
