Electrical problem
1998 Buick Regal 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic
----------------------------------------------------------------
After car has warmed up, the use of the turn signal
stalk, even if the car is not moving, causes the engine
to momemtarily quit. In my driveway at home, it killed the engine as it idled. The the lights on the right hand side of the dash, seat belt and air bag lights, flash when this occurs. Is there a turn signal switch I can acces under the dash, or does the turn
signal stalk have to be removed to find this electrical
problem? Please save my wife's life answering this question. I drive a 1989 Mazda that is practically
perfect. I thank you for your time. J. Wojski

It helps for a while. I do have the same problem sometimes when the turn signal is activated.
Did you fix it for good?
