Turn Signal Problem ?

My turn signals were working fine till yesterday but now the Drivers side front ones are not working including the bulb in the dash cluster. The rears are working fine and all the ones on the passenger side.

I've got power going in and out of the block attached the steering colum for both sides but not at the block that plugs into the back of the cluster only got power for the passenger side turn signals not the drivers side.

If I hook up power to the loom running from the bulk head block to the turn signals they work fine so its not in the loom up front.

Definitely not an expert, but sounds like the turn signal switch in the column.

This is my thoughts too.

Re: Turn Signal Problem ?

I don't know how old your truck is, or anything else other than what you posted. It seems if you have a voltage wire tester, you could poke it into the wires leading from the harness and watch for flashes, to verify that voltage is being fed from the switch. You might disconnect the "harmonica" connector, and clean the contacts where the parts plug into each other.

Sorry if I didn't understand what you posted or something.
