Original problem was loss of power windows, wipers, interior light, and speedometer. Tracked the problem to a short to 12 VDC in the instrument cluster that was blowing a fuse (GEM/instrument cluster/PAT fuse, 25 or 28). Ordered a replacement instrument cluster at LKQ for $50. Installed it. Everything seemed ok[1].
I've also been having intermittent issues with multi-function switch - turn signals won't work every so often. The new 1A Auto multi-function switch arrived late, so I had to remove the cowling and take off the multi-function switch off one more time. At some point in the process,the left turn signal hazards came on even without the key in the ignition. After taking the MFS off and on multiple times, the connector for the wiring hardness is falling apart - tabs broke and now the wires are pulling out. Possibly mixed them up. The wipers, washer, and high beams works fine. But the turn signals are not working except for sometimes the left turn signal hazards will be stuck on. The switch positions are irrelevant.
1. Any ideas aboutthe left signal hazards being stuck on?
2. Any pictures or diagrams of the turn signal wiring harness connector.
3. Any possible connection between the instrument cluster replacement?
[1] Well, now ABS light is on, but I find out that the bulb for the ABS indicator light was burned out on the original instrument.
EDIT: Note that the instrument cluster seems to have a burned out right signal indicator - it is actually all left/right front/rear indicators that are coming on, i.e., hazards, not just the left turn signal.
