- 1998 Eddie Bauer V8 AWD
I have a 1998 Eddie Bauer AWD 5.0. For the past several months, every few weeks, the left turn signal would lock up, with the instrument panel left green arrow, front left turn signal lights and rear left turn signal all on solid, even with the turn signal lever in the middle off position. I would move the turn signal lever back and forth between the off and left turn signal position a few times and it would unlock it. Today, it locked up and stayed that way for a 100 mile drive. I got home, turned the engine off, turned the key back on and moved the turn signal lever a few times and the turn signal started working again, but now the message center and Automatic Temperature Control display flash in sync with the turn signal. The external lights are flashing and the green left arrow on the instrument panel are all flashing OK, except the message center and temp control display are flashing along with them. A right turn signal does not cause the flashing message center problem. Could this be the turn signal switch in the steering column or something else?
