Turn Signal Switch
What is a Turn Signal Switch?
- The turn signal switch, also known as the turn signal relay or indicator switch, is a vital component in your vehicle’s lighting system. This switch controls the operation of the turn signals, enabling the driver to signal left and right turns, as well as lane changes, to other drivers. The switch is usually located on the steering column and is connected to the car’s electrical system.
How Can a Faulty Turn Signal Switch Affect Turn Signal Functionality?
• Intermittent or inconsistent turn signal operation: A defective switch may cause your turn signals to flash irregularly or not operate when needed. This unpredictability can lead to misunderstandings on the road.
• Turn signals not working at all: In some cases, a faulty turn signal switch might prevent the turn signals from working altogether, depriving you of a crucial method to communicate your intentions on the road.
• Signals remain ‘on’: A defective switch may also cause your turn signals to stay stuck in the ‘on’ position, which can confuse other drivers who may anticipate a turn or lane change that isn’t happening.
• Increased risk of accidents: Due to the aforementioned issues, a faulty turn signal switch can lead to confusion on the road, increasing the likelihood of collisions or other accidents
Is it Safe to Drive with a Faulty Turn Signal Switch?
- Driving with a faulty turn signal switch is not safe. Turn signals are an essential part of your vehicle’s communication system, allowing you to inform other road users of your intentions to turn or change lanes. If your turn signal switch is faulty, it can lead to unpredictable and potentially dangerous situations on the road, as other drivers will not be aware of your intended maneuvers.
- Additionally, it is illegal to drive without functioning turn signals in virtually all jurisdictions. Traffic laws mandate their use as a necessary component for road safety. Therefore, driving with a faulty turn signal switch not only puts you and others at risk but could also result in fines or penalties if you’re caught without operational signals. It’s essential to address any issues with your turn signal switch promptly to ensure safe and lawful driving.

It's well built and uses the same font as the old one, drops in easy with no issue. Just be aware, I have a '94 Lebaron convertible which has all wiper and light functions on the POD hood above the dash, not on the turn signal, whereas this turn signal handle has the wiper functions on it, which means it just rotates and does nothing in my car.I did end up modding the wiring in there to control my headlight motors, but that's just because I added them in from an '89 and have no real way to control them, so it just solved a niche issue for me, but would otherwise not benefit those with the same Lebaron.

Works great at first the turn signal was stiff but it got better over time

I bought a 1995 Dodge Dakota from an insurance auction after it had been burned in an interior fire. I picked up most of what I needed to completely restore the truck from the junk yard, but the turn signal switch I picked turned out to be broken. Well, it worked for turning the blinkers on and off but it wouldn't pop back to the center after making left turns, so I ordered this one. It was a perfect fit and I haven't had any problems with it at all. In this case, I would have been better off getting a new one in the first place, but you live and learn, I guess.
