Turn Signals Going Nuts?
Turn Signals Going Nuts?
I've had a weird problem start to happen lately and at first, I thought it was me. My truck when I'm sitting in a left turn lane with my left turn signal on, it will sometimes start to flash the RIGHT turn signal for a second without me touching it then go back to left! Has anyone else had this happen to them or am I going nuts?
Sometimes it will cause the lights to crossfire..you think your turning left the rear lights show your turning right
Should be a TSB on it..
The multi-function switch is on it's way. You may also lose the ability to switch between hi/low headlights, not be able to signal at all and sometimes when you pull the switch for high beams, your wipers/washer will activate. I've been through 4 switches, and now mine is acting up again. When it does screw up, you can usually get through it for a while by adjusting the tilt steering. I suspect that the wire harness is too short, or gets pinched in the tilt. When you take it in to Dodge, there should be a body code or dash code set that the starscan will pull out. This is lucky, because Murphy's law says that it won't be acting up when you take it in.

Wow, what good people! I took my truck up to H.W. Hunter Dodge in Lancaster yesterday (8/18) for some warranty work and trans service. I DID NOT go to my local dealer because I went there to have them replace a molding that was coming off and the hood pad was sagging and they told me they would order the parts and call me back. Well, that was almost 2 months ago and my warranty runs out in 500 miles, to which I put on roughly 250 miles a week at least.
Gave my friend Chris a buzz, played phone tag for a bit (He was busy when I was awake and I was sleeping when he wasn't busy, gotta love working the graveyard shift!!), I still had the card he gave me for his friend, Barry Fulp at H.W. Hunter Dodge in Lancaster. Left a message with Barry. Chris pm's me and says he got my message and will be expecting me Monday at 8am. Get up there Monday, find out they open at 7am. No biggie, I shoulda looked up their hours. Nice dealer, nice waiting area, all service bays are enclosed, looks like even the lot where the cars get parked when finished is covered. SWEET!
Barry writes me up for everything, calls Enterprise to get my loaner and I go home. I had them service my trans (heh, supposed to do it at 30k, I had 35k, oops), replace a shift solenoid in my trans (slow speed gear hunting), replace the "multi-function" switch (turn signal switch) due to it flashing the opposite way I intended to go at times and the 2 things that my local dealer waited 2 months to get and still never contacted me, new piece of side molding and the hood pad, were replaced. My local dealer told me that they were gonna drill more holes in my hood and put more of those plastic clips in there to hold it up. Oh hell no, I want a new one, not no half-*** Mickey Mouse repair!!
Now for the real treat, I was expecting it to be gone for about a week. I got a call at 3pm TODAY (8/19) telling me it's DONE!! So I busted tail to Lancaster, picked it up, and now I'm home! Now my trans is back to it's firm shifting self, all my molding is where it's supposed to be, my hood pad isn't sitting on top of my engine, my turn signals aren't possessed, and my wallet is only $117 lighter for the needed trans service. I can't wait for the survey thing to come in. 5 stars all the way!! Much worth the 32 miles each way drive for me!!
