ok, thanks i'll look into a repair kit.. i have the steering wheel off actually, and it does look like the cam sticks when its flipped for a right turn... and doesnt cancel out when you turn back, i found this out by turning it myself and saw that it just keeps clicking... i think that the switch is bad, cause the e flashers work just fine..

It could be the switch. Just take the wheel off and make sure its getting power. I know also that on the trucks this model, that the brake light switch was wire into the turn signals and it was what fed them power, or something like that. I had a problem like that on one of my trucks.

Ok now I understand you have no feedback. Yea check fuse mess with wires under the dash. My car when I first got it, well was PITIFULL! Nothing worked. Wipers turn signals headlights sucked. So yea under the dash or what they said.
