1. My turn signals dont flash they just stay on. If i reseat all fuses they work temporarily.

2. My drivers power locks will lock all doors but not unlock any. The passenger will lock 3 doors except drivers side. I checked the compartment by windshield washing fluid in the rear cab for fuses, but all i found was a black box that looks like a computer motherboard (1993 Limited).

3. My drivers power seat rarely works. If i pull all fuses and reseat them it works temporarily.

4. How long can i drive with a bad radius arm bushing. Is it dangerous to do so?

I need help with all these problems. Im a frustrated owner.
 






turn signals are powered through the turn signal flasher, try reseating it.

From ALLDATADIY.com Seats: OPERATION
Voltage is applied to the Seat Control Switch at all times through the 60A Maxi-Fuse 8 of the Power Distribution Box. Each Seat Control Switch consists of 8 switches:

Switches 1 and 2 control the front of the seat (UP/DN).
Switches 3 and 4 control the entire seat (UP/DN).
Switches 5 and 6 control the entire seat (FORWARD/REARWARD).
Switches 7 and 8 control the rear of the seat (UP/DN).

Each Seat Motor Assembly contains 3 bi-directional motors (Front Height Motor, FWD/RWD Motor, and Rear Height Motor) that drive the seat up, down, forward, or rearward based on the position of the Seat Control Switches.

The Seat Control Switch controls the direction of current flow to operate the bi-directional motor in a clockwise or counter clockwise direction, which moves the seat to the desired position.

There have been numerous threads concerning the wire bundle from the door to the body having broken/chaffed/shorted wires. There also has been mention of corrosion at the bottom of the fuse panel in the engine compartment.

Hope this helps.
