Ross and Alice Posted September 11, 2006 Author Share Posted September 11, 2006 Checked that. The signal died a slow death. Must be some sort of relay or Flasher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunefreak Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 First check for power at the fuse, next you'll want to check power at the signal switch. More than likely it's a turn signal switch. What model is the car? Does the turn signals light up at all and stay on? How about the 4 way flashers. If you turn them on and figit with the switch and they start to kinda come on, that is a good indication that the switch is bad. That is the most common failure on that year of car.

Ross and Alice Posted September 11, 2006 Author Share Posted September 11, 2006 Thanks DF, it's the problem. I appreciate the help. What's a fair dealer labor charge for replaceing the switch, without holding you to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunefreak Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 Thanks DF, it's the problem. I appreciate the help. What's a fair dealer labor charge for replaceing the switch, without holding you to it. The dollar amount depends on the shop's labor rate, but the "Alldata" labor guide calls for about 1.5-2.0 hrs labor. Our dealership charges about $95/ hr. I don't know if CA is about the same or any different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
