Good day!

Well, seems as though I have a faulty turn signal switch assembly - at least in the fact that it will not activate the right rear turn signal. I found a spare switch assembly in my box of spare parts which I plugged into the under-dash receptacle and tried the signals. To my surprise, the right rear signal functioned, but the left did not. Just the opposite of what I was anticipating. At that point, I knew I had good connections to the right rear signal. So I disconnected the switch assembly, cleaned all the contacts and re-installed to the receptacle. Eureka!! All signals are now working!! (BTW, brake lights were working with the old assembly!). So now, I just have to locate my steering wheel puller and switch out the old for the new-old switch assembly!

Thank you all again for your support and guidance! It is greatly appreciated! On to the next item on the list!

Cheers!
