How easy is it to replace the turn signal switch? When I turn the indicator up or down it has to be in a certain position for the turn signal to activate. If I turn it all the way up or down and leave it in that position it does not activate the turn signals. I tried cleaning the contacts with no luck. Any advice other than replacement?

There's not much to the turnsignal contacts. What resistance do you measure when moving the stalk to either turnsignal?
Clean the contact with very fine sandpaper, clean with contact cleaner. Make sure the contacts touch when engaged. You may need to gently bend the contacts to make better contact. I wouldn't replace it without understanding what is not working and whether the contacts can be cleaned and adjusted. |
