1993 OLDSMOBILE CUTLASS CIERA Turn Signal Switch

Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera

My right turn signal works fine the left turn signal wont. It makes all the lights flashers tag light dashboard lights even the radio flash like emergency flashers. I have replaced all bulbs, flasher fuse and the blinker assembly in the steering column and it still does the same thing please help.



This is not a common issue. There is a wire that is crossed. If there has been recent work done, start there first and recheck the work. Look at aftermarket installation of radio, remote starters, etc.  The next step would be to try a replacement multi-function switch(turn signal switch). There may be internal damage in the switch causing the issue. And this is a common failure component.
