turn signal & wiper switch on '99 SL2...
The entire assembly -- turn signal stalk, wiper stalk, emergency flasher
button, ignition switch, shroud, and the metal bracket all that stuff mounts to -- is loose. It rotates about 1/4" counterclockwise when I press the stalk down to signal a left turn, and returns to the normal position when I release it. This is a 99 SL2 with a tilt steering wheel. Any ideas? In a related issue, I tried to remove the shroud in an effort to see why this assembly is loose, but I can't get the lower half of the shroud off because I can't get the lock cylinder out of the ignition switch. According to the manuals I have, there's supposedly a square release button on the top of the ignition switch... nope. Not that I can find. Any assistance would be appreciated. -- Regards, Doug Miller (alphageek at milmac dot com) It's time to throw all their damned tea in the harbor again. |

Thanks -- I'll give that a try. I thought that might be what I needed to, but I was reluctant to pry at it too hard, for fear of breaking it. >Then remove the 5 screws from the bottom of the shroud (you'll need a >VERY thin-walled socket for two of them) and you should be good to go.

If anyone else knows more about this than either of us do, please chime in! |
