Turn Signal Problem

I've got the infamous "fast flasing but not flashing" turn signal problem. It appears that the fix for this is to replace the multifunction switch.

Has anyone done this themselves? Is is relatively easy to get to and replace? Any suggestions?

Turn Signal Problem

I had the same problem, and changing the rear bulbs did the trick.

Turn Signal Problem

I had the same problem, but I read on another post that if the steering wheel is put down into the lowest position that wires get pinched & the right turn signal will not work, so I put the wheel up one notch and viola! I'm making safe right turns again!
I knew something was up because everytime my boyfriend drove my truck, the signal would work, but not when I drove it!

I love this site, I've learned ALOT!

Turn Signal Problem

I've got the same problem in that my blinkers don't work when the steering wheel is in the lowest position. So isn't there a way to fix it other than not using the bottom position? If wires are getting pinched, or whatever, there must be a way to resolve it permanently.
