Turn Signal Switch -- Already Failing? By ellpee (Read 850 times)

Noticed yesterday that my turn signal -- left one mainly, so far -- isn't always canceling. Noticed it was still blinking after I pushed the cancel button, though more faintly than in the "full on" position. Not very impressive after 2200 miles! Guess I'll have to open it up and see if I can spot the problem. Not something I want happening out in traffic. Anybody have a similar experience to share?

Had a similar problem with the switch. Took the switch apart and tightened the screw that holds the lever. That fixed the prob. Take a look.....

Just had mine totally apart, no fix. Problem seems to be that the "cancel" position on the switch isn't working; canceling the right signal leaves the left indicator blinking very faintly and left turn signal lamps blinking as if I had turned the signal on. Canceling the left you can't even see the indicator lights on the dash blinking but you can hear the relay, and the left signal lamps are both blinking normally. Rats! Unless somebody has another idea, looks like new switch time. Meanwhile, is there an easy way to disable just the turn signals? Pull the relay, maybe? Please don't tell me I have to remove a bunch of plastic to get to the relay!

Found one online at Roketa Parts for about $85 (ouch!), another site for about $55 (small ouch). Anywhere else I should check?

Go figure -- took it for a spin, and it seems to have "cured itself," at least for the moment. Turn signals cancelled as they should. Will have to watch and wait.

I never buy on the Roketa parts site, I can get the same thing other places cheaper.
