Hello all,

I just had a problem happen today.I was driving and all of a sudden a buzzer went off in my car.When I made it home I figured out that my turn signals werent working.I tried to replace the fuse and it worked for about 3 seconds and blew.Does anybody have any idea what might be going on?

Sounds like the key warning buzzer wiring has shorted against one of the t/s wires down in the column. Requires partial disassembly of the column to fix it. You'll have to pul the t/s switch and wiring far enough out of the column to find the short and repair.

I think the buzzer lead is the pink wire in the column harness. You should be able to see it in the harmonica connector at bottom of column.

Worst case is you'll need a new t/s switch. Not a difficult repair and it can be done with column in car.

I found the problem.Another one of my fuses was blown causing the turn signal not to work.It was one of the aux fuses. Weird!!!!!! At least the problem is taken care of now.

thanks for the help
