Turn signal gone nuts

[BigRedWeather]

Get this. If I don't turn my hazard lights on by pressing it down, I have no turn signals, front or back. But if I press the hazard light button then I have turn signals, front and back. Regardless of where my hazard light button is, I have not brake lights.

A mechanic told me I just need to replace the turn signal switch. They can go haywire like that.

I wanted to see if someone else had seen this before I spent the $35 for the part.


Thanks,

Replace the Multi Function Switch. (Turn signal switch).

That is one of the ways they die.

X2 - Multi-Mal-Function Switch.........

I have a 98 Sable Wagon that uses a similar column and switch, and it does strange things, like the hazard lights will only flash 3 corners unless I wiggle the hazard switch. If I use the rhght hand signal, I do not have the left "flash to pass" (flash signal, but not engage the lock, until i actuall push it until it locks..... wear of those switches causes strange things.....

Take the multi function switch out and open it up.clean it with brake cleaner,clean the contacts with lite sandpaper, relube with dielectric grease.resolder the delay wiper wires if broken.save yourself 30 bux

I put a brand new switch on and the lights behave just as they did with the old switch. Still no brake lights.
