<div class="">Thanks Max. I installed a new switch about a year ago. Is it likely that a new switch would go bad this quickly? When you had the problem did you have to replace the switch, or were you able to repair the old one?<br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Jack<br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div>

If you remove the steering column cowl, you can see the colored wires and their end connections. When I just had this same symptom, it was because one out of two springs under the floating contact had vanished, so it would not make solid contact when at one end of the stalk travel, although it was OK at the other end.

The right side turn signals do not work. Left side works fine, and the 4 Way flashers work, as well (all 4). I have replaced the bulbs in the front and rear turn signals on the right side, and checked to see that all of the fuses are OK, but still no turn signals on the right side. Any ideas?</div>
