Turn signal switch not working

[moverbaugh]

So the dealership tells me that the problem with my turn signals is the switch (which seems right, the hazards work). Anyone know if it's possible to rebuild the switch? They seem pretty expensive to replace.

The switch intermittently works on occasion, but usually just produces a buzzing sound (probably arcing inside).

If anyone has a used one that works, I'd be interested.

I am also having the same exact problem does anybody know how to fix this?

the switch is easy to replace, and if your hazards work, then the fuse if ok, etc.

You can get one from the junkyard and it is easy to replace.

Wait, you took your Supra to a Toyota Dealership? I would never do that, unless it is Champion or Elmhurst Toyota. Most of those idiots in there don't know anything. Those two Toyota Dealerships are the only ones I would trust, they actually keep Supra parts in stock.

Check the "Classified Section" to see if you can find it.

Um, I just realized I have a 1990 Parts car still I prolly HAVE the turn signal switch stuffs!!

$45 shipped?

So...are the 1989+ turn switches compatible with an 87? They look a bit different. IIRC, didn't they move the cruise buttons to the right stalk on later models?

If the later switches work, then sure, I'd pay $45. A new one is over $200 from Champion Toyota.

As to the dealership, I needed oil/coolant (previous owner filled the cooling system with pure water) changes, and I don't have the facilities or the time to do it myself.

I'm pretty sure they are interchangeable. But I can get an 87 stalk if they aren't

Lemme get mine pulled off, make sure it's in good shape, etc.
