My right turn signal has repeatedly burnt out bulbs and now is hardly working at all. The left works fine but the right has been a handful to live with.

My 1996 Grand Caravan has had numerous electrical problems ever since it was a year old with about 12,000 miles. The most annoying problem is that the turn signals work only about 50% of the time. I reported the problem 5 different times while it was under warranty and it was never fixed. The dealer said that they worked just fine for them. Twice I have paid for the "multi-function switch" to be replaced at several hundred dollars a pop. In both cases, the problem reappeared within two weeks. The dealer was little or no help (again) unless I wanted to spend several hundred more dollars to have them diagnose the problem. The Chrysler Customer Service department in Detroit even refused to help me after I sent them copies of all the service orders I had turned in while it was under warranty but were not fixed.
