AR77-280z Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Smoke came out of my column the other day . I took out my turn signal switch and cleaned it up . My left indicator would freeze or be really sluggish but after the cleaning it came back to normal but my right indicator is DEAD . Can anyone help ? Before I spend most off my money I saved up for exhaust on this switch ? (Only 17 and my z is my first car) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewZed Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Use a meter and measure resistance through each signal light circuit, at the switch. If the switch is fine, the problem is somewhere else. Probably where the short is that caused your column to smoke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewZed Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 The odds are good. Looks like the "right" wire. Surprised a fuse didn't blow though. http://atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/electrical.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
