turn signal problem

I don't know if it's related, but my overdrive light comes on intermitently, and right hand turn signal won't work sometimes. I can get it to work if I use the left turn signal then immediately use the right one. Something is wearing out in there. Anyone have the same problem? Thanks Jcab

Thanks for all the replies, would this switch have something to do with the overdrive light coming on and off by itself? Thanks Jcab

I totally agree, no need to remove the steering wheel to replace the multi-function switch. I would replace the switch 1st then tackle the flashing OD light. It may go away with a new switch, I had it happen!
