    You may find the only problem is a little corrosion on the switch contacts. Work the switch back and forth, several times, till it work's the way it's supposed to..

    Try electrical contact cleaner or WD-40 on the switch. If that doesn't solve the problem, replace the combination switch--easy job:

    1. Disconnect negative battery cable.
    2. Remove lower dashboard cover (3 screws).
    3. Remove upper and lower steering column covers (3 screws).
    4. Disconnect 4-P and 7-P connectors from combination light switch, remove both screws, and lift out switch.
