They replaced the clockspring under recall warranty and solved the problem of the horn (also the cruise control).
They said it didn't solve the problem of the turn signal. They charged me $95 to do dignostic and told me that "trace and found internal open in body computer, junctin block assy". They would need to replace these two items which would cost $1,000 in parts and $200 in labor.
Needless to say, I am not going to spend $1,200 on a car with 152,000 miles on it. But they said that the signal is now working. And it had continued to work for the past 3 days. I hope it will last till next month when I need to bring it in for inspection. Then it will be set for another year. And who knows if this car will last another year.
But, it had been declard dead by a dealer 3 years ago when I took it in with the problem of rough running and engineer tended to stall at the lights. They said the compression in some cyclinders were too low and told me it was not worth fixing it. But after I took it back in, the problem mysterously went away and here, three years later, knock on wood, it is still running.
Do you know of any jerry rack device I can attach as turn signal. How about those turn signal assembly that people put on the towed trailer?
Thanks.
