Turn Signal malfunction

Drove my truck on Monday had no problems, jumped in this morning with kids in tow 2 miles down the road hit my turn signal and nothing. Hazards work, break lights, & running/head lights all work fine. I turned around and at my driveway I hit the turn signal again, it flashed once and nothing. Good thing my hazards still work, had to use them to let traffic know I was stopping. Anyone have any ideas? I'd rather fix it myself than take it to the mechanic.

My 03 & 05 Excursion have both done this. Clock spring went out. Currently my 05 flakes out on occasion.

People from GA (I am not) don't use turn signals anyway.

About 18 months ago my multi-function switch failed, no signals on passenger side. I had a haul I needed to do, so tore into the switch. I used a product I use on vintage stereo gear called De-Oxit...expensive stuff, but works great. Anyway, long-story short...the switch began working after the De-Oxit bath and about a thousand clicks of the turn signals. Works flawlessly to this day.

The OP should try this before doing anything else.

Where do you buy this stuff?

Some Radio Shacks have it in pressurized can...but the way to buy it is in a bottle with a hypodermic drip tube built on it. These run about $20 for a 25ml bottle at places like Parts Express. Any good electronics store should have it available. After cleaning with De-Oxit, to make it last, apply Faderlube...this will help to prevent corrosion on the contacts (which was the problem on mine out here in the desert, no less).

BTW, a 25ml bottle will last for many years...and if you search, my original thread is on here.
