2006 Chrysler Town and Country Turn signal

Electrical problem
2006 Chrysler Town and Country 4 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic 25000 miles

Quite regularly when I use my turn signal for either direction, nothing happens; no inside blinking indicator, no outside indicator. Putting the indicator off and on and off and on several times will make the inside and outside indicator work. Occasionally when I put the indicator into a right-turn mode, the left indicator will blink several times followed by the proper right-turn one.

Any opinion/solution.

Final question. My brakes pads get worn after only 10K miles. Is this normal for the Town&Country or for that matter, any mini-van?

Thanks/Frank

I've got a 2006 with the same problem. Have you had any luck with how to fix it.

Them's the breaks I've been told. I do a lot of down shifting now. We'll see how that plays out.

I have 2005 and 2006 minivans. The 2005 has 80K on it and it goes through brakes every 10K or so too. The only thing that helped get more miles was ceramic pads. By the way - replace the bushings or you'll be buying new tires. Without replacing the bushings, the van will not stay aligned.
