Do you have a turn signal or foglight switch problem?
I do. It started out with the fog lights blinking when making turns and the stalk would snap back, then it got to the point where I would have to fiddle with the foglight switch, then they just didn't work unless I held it in just the right spot.
So since I bought a new switch ( 80 - odd dollars) I figured I'd take apart the old one and see what was wrong.
Turns out it's fairly simple - after getting it apart ( vaguely reminiscent of a rubik's cube) it's actually really simple, just bend the spring tabs a bit and you're back in business.
Took me about 1/2 hr the first time but now I could probably do it in 15min.
It tests out fine now with my meter - I'll probably put it back in soon and see. Removing and installing the switch is super easy, about 6 screws - under 10min.
I am going to do the one in my other car so I will take pics and post them..

Yep, every time I put my blinker on, when I'm done making the turn and the stick returns to its position my lights flicker of then on, I believe just my fogs. I have a spare GS I removed the entire little unit out and just simply swapped out the units, solved the problem.... For about 2 weeks... Now it's back and doing it all over again....
So your saying you found a solution to this? Or?

Thanks Bro, i will give this a try. I think the fogs flicker because the high beams come on for a split second when stalk snaps back. The high beams and fogs cannot both be on at the same time

I will be testing out the fix but it's really obvious what's wrong once you pull it apart.
It's "fiddly" to get apart, but once you open it you can see what is the problem.
Hint: - you have to find the two little "tabs" to release the end cap ( the part that turns the headlights on/off)

The foglight mod is different and I am still perfecting mine - I want the fog to come on independent of the ignition and hi beams.
Once I get the fogs right I will post that too.
