What is the Turn Signal Switch all about?

The turn signal switch, located inside the car on the steering column, allows you to turn the signal bulbs on. Properly functioning turn signal lights are legally mandatory.

Keep in mind:

The wiring for brake lights usually goes through the turn signal switch. This means that if the turn signal switch has gone bad, your brake lights may not be working.
Some vehicles use a “combination” switch. This switch operates the turn signals, running lights, and headlights.

How it's done:

Inspect the switch, fuses, and wirings.
Remove and replace the switch if faulty.
Operate the turn signals verify operation of the exterior lights.

Our recommendation:

If your turn signal lights do not operate, your mechanic will visually inspect the fuse(s) and operate the switch a bit to see if he can determine where the problem is. Your mechanic should inspect all lights during every major service event.

What common symptoms indicate you may need to replace the Turn Signal Switch?

Left or right indicator light is not working.
Brake lights are not working.
Running lights or headlamps not working.
Unable to change from high to low beam and back.

How important is this service?

When you deploy the turn signal lever on your steering column, the turn signal switch is responsible for turning on your turn signals. Turn signals are a very important safety feature that alerts drivers all around you that your vehicle will soon be making a turn. When your turn signal switch dies, you have no way of turning on your turn signals. This not only makes your car less safe, but it is also illegal, and you can be given a very pricy fix-it ticket.

Subaru Forester H4-2.5L - Oil Change - Tujunga, California

Chris was exceptional!!! I wanted my oil changed and brake pads replaced before I went on a 900 mile plus road trip. Estimate was $200, Chris changed the oil and told me my pads were at 60 percent and did not need to be replaced. Final total was $20! Chris even took the time to explain when I should get the pads replaced, when I need to get my next service and did not try to sell me further services. Chris's honesty, integrity, and exceptional customer service have made me a customer for life. Never again a dealership or shady car repair guy trying to rip me off for basic services, especially when I can get by for awhile safely. This approach to customer service and convenience of coming to my home, made this an EXCEPTIONAL experience! Thank you Very much Chris For anyone having a doubt about this service, rest assured Chris is the real deal.
