Default Turn signal switch (lever)

whenever I signal for a right turn my high beams come on. I looked at the lever and it seems that i have to remove the steering wheel to even begin to finds out whats wrong. Has anyone tackled this problem.

Thanks

Default Steering wheel removal

Pop off horn cover (it has 4 clip things that hold it on).
Remove big center nut (long socket/extension needed).
Remove wheel.
No puller required!

Yeah well... It's a royal PITA trying to get the wheel back on straight.

Default Don't hit yourself in the face.

Loosen the nut and pull the wheel loose. You don't want to be yanking on it and have it come loose suddenly.

It sucks to have to explain the broken teeth to the dentist.

Well, I replaced the windshield wiper switch. The only tricky part was that the wiper switch was mechanically linked to the turn signal.. When you pull the wiper switch to operate the washers, it operates a switch that's part of the turn signal assembly. Take a look at it closely before you take it apart. A good learning experience is to go to a junkyard and try taking one off a car there, you get a spare part and knowledge about how it comes apart without the worry of wrecking your car.

Don't forget to disconnect the battery before taking the horn button off.
