Smoke signals from the multifunction switch.

Had a big scare on the weekend left turn indicator went on and off and smoke came out of the switch. Easy to change surprisingly, question is this common to Exploders?

Happened to my wife's 2000. I did some research then and it seemed common.

I think there was a recall or TSB on this problem so it must have been pretty common.

There is a recall on my 99. I made an apointment to get it replaced free a couple of weeks ago, but got busy and did not make the appointment. I guess I had better reschedule.

The switch is about 25 buck and about 15 min to put in.
