    Using left blinkers flashes high beams also...

    I thought it was something wrong, but whenever I use the left blinker it flashes the high beams briefly and it does that everytime I use it. The right blinker is fine. What should I look at first to solve this cause I make a TONS of left turns and hate to see me high beaming someone everytime I turn left.

    Now this only happens when my headlights are turned on.

    Likely a bad turn signal stalk switch. Easy to replace.

        Where's the switch located? Now you say easy? Is it just in and out? If so DaveCN I'll probably pick it up next week from ya.

          The switch is what you use to turn on the turn signals.

              Let me get this straight, You mean the turn signal switch turns the turn signals on and off?

                  I believe that's what they're saying :) The lever you'd use to turn left or right or use your high beams.
