I am asking all you experts out there to diagnoise my problem and let me know what you think the problem would be, so here goes:
Last year I had some periodic problems when I would turn on my parking lights, and I am sure you know this it would be the tail lights, dash lights, licsense plate light and etc, and if I wanted to with the seperate fog light switch turn on my fog lights. Well sometimes I had to turn the switch on and off several times then they would work as designed and maybe work for sometime after that a dozen times in a row even. Then it went to happening more frequently to now they do not come on at all with the multi-switch/turn signal/cruise control (stalk) lever. I have checked the fuse unless there is one I am missing somewhere and it appears to be alright. A couple of other things; the head lamps open and come on when I select all the way to head lamps, and everything works with the twilight feature but of course you can just run parking lamps and etc becasue of the automatic feature of sensing it is dark and requiring head lamps. I have had some say it's the switch, which would be my first suspect as well :confused but could it be anything else that I may be over looking? Also if the switch is the problem can it be replaced without removing the steering wheel? I have been told it can be replaced without removing the wheel but others have told me that the steering wheel has to be removed. One other thing; is there anyway to get some contact cleaner in the end of the switch and possibly try this or would this be a waste of time?
I would really appreciate any sincere comments, :crazy the rest of them you can keep to yourself :L
Thank you all very much who respond ;help, and if your information pays off I will dance at your wedding. If you're already married I may dance at your funeral, may being the key word :Twist
