Re: BLINKERS Sign In

Does the left front cornering lamp come on when you turn the left turn signal on?

No, the cornering lamp is on the corner of the fender facing the side.

Do you have the knowledge, tools and ability to troubleshoot wiring. If not then you just need to head to the auto electric shop as these circuits have to be tested.

This site is staffed with professional techs. We do not diagnose anything from past experience. Every failure can be different. We systematically troubleshoot the circuit using a wiring diagram. If doing this is beyond your expertise, we won't be able to help you.

Re: BLINKERS Sign In

Lots of posts already on this. Bet the left turn doesn't stay and cancel on a turn either? Yes or no to that I think the plastic stuff and a spring behind an airbag is broken.

THAT'S TOTALLY TAKE IT TO A SHOP tough with tools and fussy for a one time fix may not be sure of what to fix until seen with steering wheel off watching it or see the broken part go from there so IDK if even the shop will be sure of total fix till felt and seen. Don't curse me I haven't had to mess with one in ages were not fun or easy all the time,

Re: BLINKERS Sign In

It has a plastic tab that protrudes into the column through a hole in the side of the column. It gets flipped one way or the other to cancel the switch.
