How to replace the turn signal switch?

Hello,

Check the steps below how to replace turn signal switch. First disconnect battery cable. Disable air bag system. Remove steering wheel. Remove knee bolster if necessary. Remove bolts and screws and the lower and upper column cover. Remove lock cylinder, if necessary, remove wiring harness strap. Disconnect steering column electrical connector. Disconnect turn signal and multifunction switch gray and black connector. Remove turn signal and multifunction switch from the vehicle. Check the diagrams below how to remove and reinstall turn signal switch. Check out the diagrams (below). Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed. Thank you.

At the turn signal switch connector wires test for power at purple wire while key in On position -you should have battery power. If not replace the trun signal flasher. Also depress the brake pedal and test for power at the switch again -brown and white you should have battery voltage-

If the above 2 check outs the turn signal is defective-

Double check the turn signal connections-

See EWD

Test the turn and hazard flasher also check ground black wire at rear of right cylinder head. also test the high mount stop relay located at right rear of engine compartment. See below

Try a new switch, it sounds like it hasnt been hooked up properly or the switch is bad, go back and retrace. If you post back ill try to find you a wiring diagram for it.

What doesnt work? Brake lights? Turn signals? Need to know what plug you are talking about

I was asking what plug you are talking about. If the fuses are all good and you have no turn signals or brake lights, it is most likely the turn signal switch.

If you replaced the turn signal switch and all fuses are good, you might need to take it to a qualified tech. Did you throw away th eold switch? If not match up the plug to be sure that all the wires are in the same spots. There is a seperate small wiring set for the multi-function switch, that plugs in down near the turn switch plug

All SRS (air bag) connectors shpould be yellow. Look fo the yellow connector under the dash

Good evening,
