Hi. Frank here. I have a beautiful 92 C4. Went to turn right and flipped up the turn signal lever and it fell back down. Left turns work fine with the stalk switch, right turns nothing.
I disconnected the battery, waited an hour then removed the airbag, the airbag disc, star plate. I removed the turn signal switch and it works fine left or right by moving it with my fingers.
What else can be broken that is not allowing me to have right turn signals? I’m lost.
Frank here. The “bad bulb” one made me laugh as well. May I add, when I put the right turn in the up position, the switch didn’t stay up - it fell back to the center. There is a lot of slop in the up position. Something inside definitely broke and it’s not a bulb (haha) and not the turn signal switch.
To answer question 2. The ign switch had to be removed in order for the outer column to come towards me, to loosen the turn signal switch itself.

..... ... Glad that I could provide some levity during your dilemma ... its just that over the years , I have encountered numerous people who seem to seek out the most absurdly complicated ways to fix little things while totally overlooking the most basic items ... The bulb thing popped into my head when I saw the pic of your steering column's guts ... that's a complex place when you consider how much electrical and mechanical stuff is crammed in there and expected to last for years ... replace the turn signal switch assembly ... tie some dental floss around the harness connector before you pull it out so you can "fish" it back through .....
You hit it exactly. That small piece did come flying out when it all broke. There is also a clip that came out as well. Is this piece replaceable? Where do I get it? Thanks a million. Frank

Was it just the piece of metal the roller rides on. Look closely on the broken off piece there is a strip of metal that looks like a clip. It will already be on the new one.
the real trick is changing it. It pivots on a pin. You have to take the column cover off so you were going to take the lock assy out anyway.
The wires run down the bottom of the column. Tie a string to them to help pull the new one through.
There is a small piece that pushes the dimmer rod and it's not held in by anything. It falls out easily when you remove the switch.
Best advice I could give is take a part off, take a picture. Repeat till you have it far enough apart to change the switch.

In case you don't have a FSM this link has a good picture of how every thing fits together.
