turn signals (yes again)

I got the brake lights switch replaced
brake lights work
park lights work
hazard lights work
head lights work
wipers work
dimmer works
no turn signals the lever will go up but won't stay and doesn't click
down it clicks but won't stay. they won't work regardless of which way I move it. rear bulbs have been checked.

ooohhh I also need a weather pack for my fuel pump (green/white wire) plug someone stripped a bunch of wires to splice something in and never insulated them and now they are touching and grounding the fpump making it run continuously. 6-wire plugs.

the lever that doesnt stay thats a hardware problem behind the steering wheel. with other words your gonna have to remove the steering wheel and look behind it.

do you mean your turn lights just stay on, or just stay out ?
if they stay on and dont blink ( and if both sides to this ) you can try putting a resistor parallel over 1 of turn signals ( a 27 ohm 5W ) should do the trick. 1 over every front turn signal.


what happens when you put your hazards lights on ?

when the hazards are on they blink normal and when I apply the turn signals they do NOTHING. and I do mean nothing. the not staying in place that is probably the cams not working but there is no blinking of the lights. Front and back lights work when the hazards are "on"

I am leaving work maybe I can figure this out this weekend

Turn signal Flasher? pull steering wheel and replace everything anyway?

sounds like your talking about the flasher and when I apply the turn signals no I do not hear the noise from the flasher. I do however hear the noise from the hazards flasher and have learned from TGO that the car has them seperated from each other. When I get off of work tonight I will be looking to locate and test the (turn signal flasher). although if I have to take the steering wheel apart to fix the hardware problem then I may as well get a whole new signal switch anyway.
