First symptom: Left turn signal starts flashing fast
Action: checked all 4 directional signal bulbs, all were lighting in 4 way and left and right turn albeit left was dimmer.
Further developments: left turn signal stopped flashing and flasher started buzzing, right signal still good.
Troubleshooting: discovered if I held the signal switch down part way for left turn, left turn signal would light and flash normally. Right signal still functions normally.
Further development: left turn signal either buzzes or does not work at all
Troubleshooting: applied considerable force on signal lever toward the front of the car (high beam direction) and moved switch between left and right positions. Left signal worked in a couple of positions in the left segment. Right signal works.
Action: ordered column switch
Further developments: Right turn signal began degrading in the same manner as the left signal.
Troubleshooting: tried the same techniques as on the left side, same result.
Action: hope the switch gets here soon
Troubleshooting: shorted between pins 49 and 30 on the emergency flasher. Both directions displayed the same issues, buzzed or do not flash.
Action, Jumped for Joy when the Amazon truck pulled in and dropped a switch off.
Further action: Ordered a flasher relay
Plans for the weekend: replace the column switch.
Sound like I am on the right track?
