Default Blinkers not working

Both blinkers are out. The E-Flashers work on all four corners but the blinkers are dead. No light on the dash on either side. It has done it a few times before, but now nada. I'm thinking it is the column switch? anyony....

TIA,

John

Try the hazard switch first... cycle it a few times.

Cycling the Hazard switch several times will sometimes correct the problem for a long period of time or only be a temporary fix. This is a common problem.

If this corrects the problem only temporarily, below is a link to instructions on how to replace the switch by the easiest method possible – as far as I have ever seen.

NOTE –

Clicking on the photos enlarges them quite a bit to show excellent detail. Bookmark the site or save the web page to your hard drive for future reference.

Theres a very detailed post on how to rebuild that column multifunction switch. Search for it and rebuild your switch.
