Focus help
Not sure if this belongs here, moderators please move if so....
My fiance's 2001 Ford Focus has a blinker issue. I know the blinker fluid isn't low
so that can't be the prob,
but the blinker won't turn off after a turn. You can turn the wheel lock to lock and the blinker stays on, both directions. I can do a motor rebuild and a gear swap no sweat, but messin with the column just scares me. Any ideas?

Actually, it is what Mil1ion had said.

From my understanding, no one in their right mind would dare try ripping apart a newer vehicles steering column for any make or model vehicle. Apparently there are a few "specialized" tools one must have to get through all of the little pivot points or something like that. I think $100 would be fine with me to get it to the dealer and let them deal with it.
Just my $.02 though

Spend the $100
Try and find some other things wrong while you're at it. Get as much done as you can for that $100

Unless you have a repair book, that tells you about the switch and air bag things you might be better off with the dealer. Buy a book and look at what it will take to repair the cam cancelling part. You might have to spend more on tools, books than the $100 dealer cost and risk damageing the air bag. Good luck

Thanks guys. Think I will wait till something else goes wrong and kill 2 birds with one c-note. The power steering pump is already making noises so I am sure I won't have to wait long. Man... Ford trucks are tough as nails, but thier cars leave A LOT to be desired....
