Ford Mustang: Turn signal - intermittent problems - Switch?

Sounds like the turn signal switch itself is worn out, and needs replaced. I
know that is not what you wanted to hear.

Starting to see this more often in the 94-98 cars. It seems to be a problem
with the contacts within the switch, sometimes with the turn signal switch on
the dash indicator light doesn't come on as well. when it is acting up, move
the lever slightly up or down and the problem will probably stop.
More than likely the switch and a replacement would take care of it, if you end
up wanting a new one let me know and I will see what I can do one for through
my parts guys here at BV Ford.

Are you sure it isn't my exhaust bearings?

See.. I thought that maybe I could clean the contacts, but am not going to
tear it apart until I have the $$$ to replace it, just in case.

Do you have problems when using the wipers? My 95's is all messed up, my
delay sometimes doesn't work so I have to play with the switch so it could
make contact ;0( I wonder how hard it is to replace.

No problems with the wipers, but now that you mentioned it, and it's about
to be the rainy season AND that I am F---ing broke as hell ... you watch,
they will be acting up soon.

From what I saw, to replace it, you only have to remove a couple of trim
panels, the lock cylinder and it's two screws and a couple of plugs. Looks
easy !
Do you have a book on your car?
