All lights work now, but turn signals don't come on still....is it the cam now?
I just fixed the front/pass. sidemarker bulb connector. My old one was all corroded. It was the last light I needed to fix hoping to have my turn signals working but they still don't work.
Here are the symptoms:
-Turn signal switch engages and mechanically clicks (once, not the pinging sound when the signals are flashing) when I want to either indicate a left turn or a right turn. Make sense so far?
-Hazzards work fine and it makes that normal pinging sound like when the turn signals are on.
Is it the cam? It seems to me it's not the switch because I feel and hear it clicking into the right position.
Someone has to know what I need to check for next.
Thanks!!

The turn signal cam has nothing to do with the signals working, it only turns the signals off after a turn has been made if the steering wheel is turned far enough. Have you checked the fuses and the wiring at the right side of the steering column?

Yes there is a turn signal switch that the multifunction lever connects to. The wires for it connect to a connector on the right side of the steering column under the dash.
