Hello,

Right Turn Signal Not Working, When I check the Turn SIgnal Relay (Big Black Box like relay),
it makes a "oo oo" kind of sound when turn signal indicater is given but works fine when Left Turn signal is given.

Tried replacing the Relay, but exact same thing happens.

This makes me think it might be the turn signal lever switch may be or
is there something else in the steering column along with this switch
which may be causing this?

Please help.

Thanks,
Arv.

Try some electrical cleaner down the lever, as you have changed relay.

Try this, my turn sgnals were intermittent/not working well so as a "quick fix" I bought some electrical cleaner and soaked the lever mechanism in it. It took a week or so to work it's way through but since then 4 years of perfectly working indicators...I haven't even had to respray it again.

yes, mine was also working intermittently but now just stopped.

Thank you. I should try that. Great idea.
