[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 816683, member: 52972"] There is a connector in the steering column that holds all the wiring for the signals, horn wipers and cruise systems Even the headlights go through that connector for the bright/dim control as well as the ignition/starter wires. My 2001 had this problem. If you remove the lower cover you can see the connector and you can feed up a bit mor slack into the colum so that when you tilt the wheel it does not pull on the wires and separate the connector. Sometimes just pushing the connector back together is suficient while some have pulled wires out and may need replacing. Since the signals only work sometimes, would indicate that perhaps the wire is not broken but the connector is getting pulled apart and pulling up a bit more slack in the wires will eliminate your problem. ...Rich [/QUOTE]
