| Component | EXTERIOR LIGHTING:TURN SIGNAL:SWITCH |
| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | Turn signals are not working correctly - "confused". This problem has just begun in the past two months with our 2005 grand caravan. The problem is intermittent, when you signal to turn right, the left turn signals comes on. Then, if you signal to the left, no turn signals will light. The turn signal lever movement feels normal when this occurs (doesn't appear to be catching or hanging up on any thing). If you jigglethe lever back and forth the signals will work normally again. The first time we noticed it was while driving in a heavy rain storm, but now it happens a couple of time a week. The vehicle was in to the dealership, but they were unable to duplicate the problem. However, it is becoming more prevalent and maybe the next time they can observe the actual failure. |
