Intermittent Electrical Problem / Directionals
Hello, 2000 Mazda/Ranger with an intermittent problem when the left directional is used. Sometimes it will not flash and the indicator lamp glows steady with an acompanying puff of smoke from the steering column. Smoke comes out of the area on top from the hazard switch. I was wondering if anyone has seen this problem?
Sometimes, I can go 2-3 weeks without this ocurring again. I wonder if I should try to replace the flasher unit or maybe the complete directional switch assy.. Any ideas?!!!
This coming weekend I will attempt to replace the burnt out dashlight bulbs and thought maybe I could kill 2 birds.
Thanks, Bill

2000b2500, seeing as how this is a 2000 model, check out program 00B40, you might qualify for a free replcement of your multifunction switch, if it's bad & hasn't already been recalled.
This thread has all the details you need to find out if your vehicle qualifies. Could save you some bucks!!!!
