I could see it happening if you pulled the column apart and the rod that goes to the dimmer switch was put in the wrong place. Need a year to know for sure.

shes a 92.

and that does make sense.

the column was kinda a bear to get back together.. didnt know there was a rod in the column.

It will be on the left side outside the column. It goes with the dimmer transfer part inside the column. Standard GM issue.

I had a similar problem with my Canadian 90' with daytime running lights. The module failed. I disconnected the module and problem solved.

Found this thread after searching for a bit...I am trying to resurrect my beloved 1990 XJ Limited...poor thing has been thru hell and back...long story short, my father in law broke the turn signal switch and the wiper stalk....I went to replace it with another I pulled from Pick N Pull (got the whole column during 1/2 price sale) and I have it 90% back together now...only problem I am having is the rod connecting to the turn signal stalk...does anyone have a good diagram of how it's supposed to hook in? I made sure the rod itself that runs down the column is in the switch, my problem is where the little black piece hooks to the rod and turn stalk. I tried to take really detailed pictures of the tear down as I have never messed with the steering column in one of these before...any help is greatly appreciated.


Thanks Steve

Got it fixed...the curve of the piece rests against the rod...kinda tricky to get in but I got it.
