My turn signal does not go off by itself after I make a turn? What would casue this and how much would a repair shop charge to fix this?

There is a plastic clip on the switch that is made to cancel the switch when the steering is turned. It must be broken. If that is the case (and I think it is) the switch needs replaced.

It should be free. The vehicle should be under the bumper to bumper warranty. Contact your dealer.

The car has a PS title. Doesn't that void the warranty?

thanks,

PS? I'm not sure what that is. Do you mean reconstructed? If so, yes, that will void it.

PS stands for Previously Salvage I think, It was in a accident and was totaled out by the insurance company. Any idea how much it will cost me to get the turn signal switch replaced?

thanks,

That makes sense. It won't be covered. As far as the part, it is a dealer item from what I can see. That means it isn't available at the typical parts store. My GUESS is the part will be around 150. plus about 1.5 hours labor.
