Turn signal/high beams problems

Can someone help? On the dash my right turn signal arrow and high beam indecator lights are not lit but the left side is. When I try to turn the brights on the lever does not click back so the brights do not come on. Also on the outside of the car the right front turn signal does not light up but the back right does but does not blink it just stays lit. I checked the bulbs and they are good. Is this a part that wore out in the turn signal lever or something else. This is on a 1991 Camaro.

Re: Turn signal/high beams problems

If you tilt the steering wheel all the way up or down, does the hi/lo beam switch work then?
Your hi/lo beam switch is most likely out of adjustment. Here's an article that I wrote about how to easily correct it: http://www.austinthirdgen.org/index.php?pid=16

As for the turn signals: if the left side flashes fine, then it's not the flasher. If the right side does NOT flash, I'd look at all the bulbs. Especially since you said that the front signal doesn't light up.
Try your hazards - that will tell you for sure which lightbulbs are good or bad.

Hope this helps.
