Why? What is the problem with yours? Have you checked the fuses, bulbs, relays, switches, etc...?

no someone at some point in time screwed up all the wiring .
i know wht the problem is ,its the turn signal switch,mine needs one with cruise,the one thats in there is for no cruise.
but i dont have time or money to go tearing the stering colum apart trying to figure out why they did that, *** only knows what else ill find wrong and all the other lights work so im gonna
let sleeping dogs lie.


im just going to run my own wiring and fuse that way i know it works and its done right.

Have you tried finding a used switch? YOu do not have to tear the column apart. The switch just pulls out of the column, then you unplug it.

yeah i know but the horn doesnt work and alot of the wiring was messed up when i bought it. im putting in a new horn with a switch and the stop lights should be simple enough.
i just dont feel like messing with the jungle of wires again.
and the cruise is probably screwed up anyway. i just dont want to find anymore problems i just want stop lights, wire is dirt cheap too.there are no shorts in the system and all the other lights work.im not gonna mess with it right now.

Sounds like a bad brake light switch to me.
