My 95 Lumina has the exact same problem- the dealer says 300 bucks, that is insane.

More specifically, I can use the signal if I don't go past where it "clicks", but if I go past that where it stays on by itself- the signal doesn't work.
All the flashers work (I tested them with known good parts) and the hazard lights work.. I noticed everyone's problem is slightly different, but I know it's all the same defective part causing the problem.

I would take the steering wheel off myself, but man, it seems like such a hassle. I have the Haynes manual and all the tools except the puller which I could buy allot cheaper than paying them to do it. I've already had the entire dash apart when I got the car to install an aftermarket CD player.

When you guys say "pull all fuses", are talking ALL the fuses? Every single one? Is that really necessary or could I get buy with just pulling certain ones?



My inspection has been out since March 15 because of this- It just seems crazy to have to pay them that much for such a simple problem..
Since 2003 the signals need to work in ALL positions in NY where I live.


Does it make any difference that when got the car I put an engine from a 96' Grand Prix in there? I didn't think it would, but I better ask just in case, I'm not sure my manual lists all the sensors for the airbag system..

I'm also wondering if you could make some kind of a long thin tool out of a hanger or something and reach in there and bend those contacts without taking off the wheel-
There's a big opening where the control stalk comes out of there- It seems like you could do something from there with the right shaped tool if you knew where the contacts were.. or maybe not.
