left turn signal stuck on. Help!

Switch could be bad, and the cable harness in the column could be bad also.
Try unlocking the column and moving the wheel forward and back and see if
the problem changes.


Same as always.  Get out the meter, start at the switch and work down toward
the lamp.

Why drive with the 4-ways on? Just drive with the left on and pretend you
are an idiot.

My first thought is that the turn signal stalk (combination switch) is
broken.

I had a fault like this around 30 years ago and thought I had diagnosed it
to damage in the cable in the column.

Then a friend pointed out the car had a tow ball and trailer electrics.
Sure enough there was a slave unit for it and a fuse or bulb had blown.
With no diodes current passed between circuits in the device.  I replaced
the fuse / bulb and inserted diodes and all was fine.  I also had a row with
the maker, but these days such units incorporate protection.

Check you don't have one of these.

Found out it's the switch.

A friend took it out, sprayed electrical contact cleaner inside, put it
back in and it works (for now)

Going to order a replacement as he stated this might be a "temporary fix."

Thanks for your suggestions.
