The turn signals seem to operate sporatically when trying to use them. Then they just stop working all together. I replaced the fuse for the turn signals but still have the problem. Checked all the lights to make sure a bulb had not burned out and all seem to be fine. Also tested the hazard lights and they work fine when Hazard button is pressed. Any ideas what the problem might be? Any thoughts on the subject would be appreicated. Thanks.

Hi, my first thought, is a problem with the multifunction switch? You can check wiring circuits if you want? Did you use a testlite to check for voltage and ground at the turn signal lite itself?

If the multifunction switch is easy to get at, you may be able to check the circuits there. Also, there is probably a multiwire connector under the dash, close to steering column, for circuits going into and from the steering column, where you can check circuits. I don't know which would be easier? I don't like working under a dash, just speaking for myself.
