Hey Guys. For a while now I've had a loosey-wobbly turn signal. Basically when the turn signal auto-cancels after a turn, it half-connects and makes the left turn signal and the turn signal (on the dash) lights up dimly, but does not blink. If I touch it (lightly up/down) it wobbles a little bit. Anyone know what you need to do to fix this? New parts or just a little adjustment? Thanks.

 

Sounds like you need a new lever or a new switch in the column.

 

i guess that's one you don't have a how-to for? is it involving or like a 5 minute deal?

 

Sorry, no how to, but it will be more than 5 minutes. The MFL just pulls out (after you disconnect the cruise wiring plug). Getting into the column is more involved.

 

MFL? No fun there!

 

Where the metal arm attaches to the turn signal switch .

But, you still have to get into the column to access it.

Not hard w/ the proper tools - a real PITA w/o , and a real possibility of damage to the column as the shaft is designed to collapse, and methods that involve beating on or pulling on the wheel by hand can cause damage.

Fortunately, the tools are relatively cheap & are probably at your local parts store.

what tools do i need to get in there?

 

This is an older column, but gives you an idea:

You won't have to go nearly as far into it as this shows.


Hope this helps !
