they seem to work for a few minutes, then nothing. the turn signal still works though. this is a recent development after I replaced my old stalk (which turns out was fine)

 

I'm not familiar with the term "stalk" as it applies to vehicles.

Would you elaborate, please?

Pop

 

the windshield wiper/turn signal rod/stalk/lever out of the steering column

 

Ahhh, I know it as the multi-function switch.

Thanks.

What was the reason for the original replacement?

Pop

 

front turn signals were not working but the rears were. thought it was the switch, but it wasn't

 

Did you use a new, OEM, part, or was it from a bone yard?

Pop

 

OEM from one of the dealers on here

 

What ended up being the problem with the brake lights?

 

no problem with brake lights?

 

Sorry, brake lights are tied in with the rear turn signals and I got the two reversed.
What ended up being the problem with the rear turn signals?

 

oh

no problems with the rear turn signals, just the fronts don't work

 

Well, I guess I better go get some more sleep.
I missed every detail on this one. LOL.

 

hmm anybody have any other ideas? it's raining today

 

Have you tried putting the original one back in?

I have an extra one that I know works if it comes to that.....

 

Did you try pulling the front lamps out and looking at the sockets. Rain does a job on the contacts in there. A pencil eraser has just the right amount of abrasive to clean the contact points to make the lamp work again. The lamp contacts can be cleaned the same way.
