Hey Sean, I seem to have a very similar problem with my turn signals as well. I've had my truck sitting since April (using bike to save gas) and found that the turn signals do not work. I have brake lights, running lights and emergency flashers. No amount of moving the steering column helps. I haven't torn the steering column apart yet. I have had minor intermittant symptom like yours but then sudden failure of the turn signals. Have you had any luck resolving your problen yet? Any insight into this pain-in-the-butt issue would be greatly appreciated. Thanks...Scott
