Default Slow repitition turn signal

Got bad turn signals, all lights work, when i turn on blinker, green arrow pops up immediately then is stagnate for a while then will blink and so on. Bad relay or fuse? Let me know. Also high beams wont click or turn on or show as on on steeringcolumn may have something to do with it idk

You need a Turn Signal Flasher. As for the High Beam Indicator you might have a bulb out behind the cluster.

I think the high beams clicker went out on the steering column but i dont think thats the problem with the blinker because its blinking in the inside the same rate at the outside. But idk you might be right.

Different issues:
- As said above, you just need a new flasher to fix the turn signal issue. Beware that most stores do not sell the right type. If you want to stick with the thermal flasher, Napa sells them. Otherwise, you'll have to get a more expensive electronic flasher from a larger chain store.

- The high beam selector controls a long push rod that extends down the steering column. Look under the dash panel and see if you can find where that rod contacts the high beam switch. (This document shows the connection at the top of page 45: http://www.diyfiero.com/dropspot/Jaz...ck_Rebuild.pdf) If the rod moves, then you probably just need a new switch. If the rod doesn't move, something is amiss in the column and you will need to rebuild the top end of the column.

As for the high beams the rod is amiss, i am going to have the top end rebuilt, he says its gunna run me around 150, sound like a good deal? or to pricey. or should i attempt to do it on my own and save a few?

Sounds like a fair price. (I'd charge you more!) If you want to see what's involved, this thread and the link above have all the details: https://ls1tech.com/forums/general-m...mn-repair.html
