Left turn signal stuck/No right turn
So today I decided to take a normal left turn...turning on my turn signal, and what do you know, ITS STUCK.. blinking all the time now.. I tried turning it off by the activating the hazard lights, but didn't work.. I can't even do a right turn signal cause the lever will not go up, only downwards...
Can I pull a fuse to stop it? how can i do that safely? what can I do so I don't look dumb on the road..but for now All I can do is put my hazards so it doesn't look obvious. good thing It turns off when the car is off, but the second I put it in ignition mode.. it starts blinking again.
I have been searching on the forums, saw potentially to be the lever switch? Also noticed that the lever seems pretty loose...sometimes my high-beams will come on if i have it at a certain angle.
I am sure this is a small fix.. So how much should the part be? how long will it take to dissemble the steering wheel to access behind it?

Left turn signal stuck/No right turn
Joshg dont worry very simple fix. You remove all 6 screws under the steering wheel cover. To get to the back 2 of the 6 screws you have to remove big panel under the steering wheel held in by 2 screws(where fuse panel sits in) There will be this steel/metal plate once you remove that its held in by 2 10mm screws remove that. Now you have access the back 2 screws. Remove the steering wheel cover gently top and bottom and cover where you insert your car key. Now you have access to the 2 phillip screws that hold in the stalk. Part should be no more than $60 used. All you need to do this job is literally a long screw driver.

This was an easy job, just what you said is what I had to do, The whole lever switch assembly was damaged and loose, replaced with a working one $50 from junkyard, works just like before, Also How do i activate the high beams? on my old one it was so loose that it was easy to turn on the high beams.
