Turn signals only work occasionally. All other functions/lights on the left switch work fine. Emergency flashers work okay. No blown fuses or bulbs out. I also tried a new turn signal and headlight switch and that didn't make a difference.

I recently installed a new clock spring and this issue started about a week after. Maybe it is related. All the other steering wheel functions work as expected.

Lost for what the issue could be.

Welcome to 2CarPros.

Intermittent electrical issues like this are usually a bad connection. What I suggest, and you won't like this, disconnect the battery and take things apart and check for a loose connection, a pinched wire, or a bad connector. Since you had the wheel removed, chances are something was either damaged or bumped loose.

Let me know. Also, I wish I had a more definitive answer, but this is what makes sense to me since the problem started after the work was done.

Take care and let me know what you find.
