Need Help On Turn Signal Lever
Hello everyone. I need help on what could be wrong with my turn signal lever. Whenever I pull the lever down or up so that it signals my turn, it does not signal. I have already checked the fuses and my tail lights but that doesn't seem to be it. My wipers still work but my signals don't work and my high beams don't go on either.
I have a 93 Z. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you. |

Buy a new multifunction switch. It will solve your problems :)

Re: Need Help On Turn Signal Lever
You should check out better what it is doing. For the turn signals and high beams the stalk only acts as a lever to move other things inside the steeing column. If the lever is not physically broken, replacing it likely won't solve your problem.

Re: Need Help On Turn Signal Lever
Alright then. So I'll check out whats going on inside first. I hope its nothing big. Or I hope it's something simple. Any ideas on what could have broken inside??

Re: Need Help On Turn Signal Lever
The lever is sticking out of a box, it's called a multifunction switch. You can't just replace the lever, it comes as a whole unit. I don't think the level is the problem. What you can do is take apart the steering column and look for visible damage.

Re: Need Help On Turn Signal Lever
...I just messed with a similar problem recently. When I checked the
fuse I checked #2 in the fuse box, labeled TURN B-U. It was good, BUT after other things didn't solve the problem I checked ALL the fuses. Guess what? The fuse in spot #6 labeled STOP/HAZARD was blown and when I replaced it the turn signals WORKED! ;) What does stop/hazard have to do with the turn signals??? I have no idea but it fixed 'em. I sort of thought that TURN would be turn signals but I guess not. Now watch people chime in here and say how dumb I am for not knowing that it was fuse #6 in the first place...... Did you check the blinker flasher? That silver cylinder thing under the dash. ShoeBoxes web site will show you where it is. If its blown the blinkers won't work. They are only a buck or two....... If none of this helps and your problem isn't in your steering column? Go to Shoeboxes web site and see where the turn signal junction box is and just touch the correct wires together {under the dash} to see if blinkers work. If you can't read a scematic {I not only can't read one, I CAN'T even spell it!}. Anyway, I have a '94 TA and I can tell you which color wires are which and you can just touch the correct ones together and see if they blink. This will tell you if your problem is in the column or not.... Also after you remove the turn signal lever from the multi-function box you must put the wiper in the off possition before it'll go back in. Oh, and if I'm not mistaken the high/low beam unit on the column is must a mechanical unit. A long metal rod goes from the top of the steering column down to a switch about 1/2 way down the steering column. The metal rod might be jammed in their. Mine was..... I hope some of this helps you..... Or ALL of it for that matter ;) Bill |
Re: Need Help On Turn Signal Lever
Thanks BILLSBIRD. I'll go ahead and check those items out then. As an update I found out my high beams indeed do work, its just my Turn Signals that do not. I'll keep you guys posted on the progress, and thank you all for your help.

Re: Need Help On Turn Signal Lever
I looked at Shoebox's website and I saw a TURN SIGNAL FLASHER, but I did not see anything about a TURN SIGNAL JUNCTION BOX. Are these two the same?? If not then i need help. Oh, and BILLSBIRD, which which wires do I mess with to test out the turn signals. thanks.

Re: Need Help On Turn Signal Lever
Alright. I'll go ahead and check out the flasher then. Oh, and yeah, the turn signals on the dash do not come on at all, and they don't flash outside the car either.

Re: Need Help On Turn Signal Lever
Ditto on replacing the lever only. I've got about 15 of them if you need one. $10 and I'll send it to your door if need be. The are held on by a C clip and hook into the wiring.

Re: Need Help On Turn Signal Lever
Thank you for all those that replied and gave me assistance with my problem. Turns out that the Turn Signal Flasher just needed to be replaced. Once i did that, my turn signals came back. Thanks for the LEVER offer, but as can be seen, i don't need it. Thanks again everyone.
