I find it interesting that all these people (like me) have this problem or related problems and have just been living with it ('til now) instead of bringing it up and breaking up the tire threads. : ) I also find it strange that all the resident geniuses have been mum about the solution thus far. Normally we'd have four competing fixes and a couple of conspiracy theories by now. My turn signal indicator stays on dimly all the time. When I use the turn signal, it sometimes just gets brighter, without blinking. Sometimes it blinks very fast, sometimes normally. Sometimes when I turn the wheel the horn blats and the wipers go for a turn, which confuses my kids because they know that wipers mean rain... so they look for the non-existent rain. My brake fuse blows periodically. I just figure that I'm gonna have to go through the wiring in the steering column piece by piece and set everything to rights and see if it gets me anything. Should only take about a day and a half, right?
