problem #3

Jun 282005

Ranger 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 64,000 miles
On several occasions, the left turn signal has failed to work properly - when it fails, the signal will either not come on at all or will remain lit continuously (instead of flashing), even if the turn signal switch is off. In addition, when the signal fails, smoke comes out of the steering column near the hazard flasher switch and/or turn signal switch. I have ordered a replacement turn signal switch (and will be replacing it as soon as the new part arrives) - I will keep the old part.
