in the tail light, there's a single bulb, there's two filiments, and between the running lights, turn signals, and emergency flashers, i can get both filiments to light up, so the bulbs arent to blame. i've also checked all the fuses, and replaced all the fuses that had any relation to the issues just to make sure that wasnt the cause.

i'm afraid that its a piece inside the steering wheel column. i forget the name of it. i'm trying to start out simple, and replacing the flasher relay under the dash. here's my problem... none of the parts stores around here carry it, and i've had a rather difficult time finding any online parts stores that carry it. i refuse to go to a dealership and pay the thirty dollars that they want.

anyone have a 96 that they're parting out, and can pull the three prong flasher relay from under the dash for me? paypal ok?

thanks for any help

its not the flasher or bulbs.. theres a part in the steering wheel that needs replaced. i cant recall the name off hand.. and you allso need to replace the head light switch..because yor dash lights will soon go out..
