Hi everyone,
I recently bought a Mazda MX3 1992, the car's in good condition but only one problem...whenever I turn my steering wheel to the right / left the Turn Signal flasher starts clicking towards the direction im heading.....So basically when im turning right....the right turn signal lights up until i bring back the steering wheel to it's neutral position which makes the left turn signal turn on because im turning it towards the left......Now this may be funny but I got pulled over times by the cops because they thaught i was drunk driving because of the flasher LOL...so please anyone can help out with a resolution to this problem....i dont want the flashers to turn on anymore when i turn the steering wheel .....

Thanks in advance

More than likely it is going to be the combination switch itself. This is a common problem with 323's, Protege's, mx-3 and so0me miata's after alot of km's or age.

Go find yourself a new or used combo switch and that should fix your problem.

Suggested Repair

Replace the combination switch with a new or used unit. A worn combination switch is a common cause of turn signals activating when the steering wheel is turned on these Mazdas.

Conversation Summary

The owner of a 1992 Mazda MX-3 reported that the turn signals activate and click whenever the steering wheel is turned left or right, and they cancel incorrectly when the wheel returns toward center. A Mazda technician said this is a common age- and mileage-related failure of the combination switch on MX-3s and related models, and recommended replacing the switch.
