In Aug 2001 I had to have the turn signal lever on the steering column replaced due the headlights and turn signals becoming non operative. In Feb 2002 I started to have random occurences of the headlights being nonfunctional while the switch was being operated, usually after turning the switch on and off for a few seconds the headlights would operate normally. In June 2003 the left and right turn signals started to randomly not operate properly. Sometimes the signal would not come on at all when activated, other times the signal would stay on, even though the turn would be completed. In Sept 2003 the left signal will not operate normally, when the driver activates the signal indictacting a left turn, the signal will activate, but it will not blink, the light just comes on and stays like that. The driver has to manually move the switch in the on and off posistion in a continous motion to use the signal. The emergency flashers operate in a normal fashion when activated. All the lamps have been replaced by the owner, and the wiring has been inspected.
