Turn signal switch?

My turning singnal switch does not stay down on the left but will on the right. How much does that little thing inside the steering colum usually cost and what all has to be done to replace it?

it's actually not that hard to get to. You will need a steering wheel puller, but other than that, maybe a 1/2 hour's worth of work (and you don't need to tpull the whole column out either. Mine does the same thing and it's a little plastic tab that broke off. I haven't replaced it yet mostly because you can't just purchase the plastic piece... it's the whole switch or nothing ($70) and as long as the switch still works... I'm dealing with it ;-)

if you can find me one for $10 I'd grab it in a heart beat. The reason they wanted so much is that it's not just the plastic carrier. It has a bunch of wires and electronics on it too.

I have a steering wheel puller so I will call some local auto part stores and see about the price. If it is too much I can get used to just holding it down! Thanks

Last time I let some one drive my truck I wound up with a shattered windshield and a huge knot on my head. She said she was not used to such "touchy" brakes. I still can not think straight.

You know... Your problem might not be your switch. I would check your turn signal fluid and make sure it has enough in the resevoir. Keep that thing topped off and you shouldnt have any problems... If you need some you can order it for pretty cheap at the link below.

http://www.kalecoauto.com/ <- What you need is under the Maintenance section.

Sorry, I am not that stupid, I might ask questions here and there but I know many things about mechanics. Try it on someone else.
