Turn signals only work when brake pedal is pushed. Any ideas?
 
Today, while driving to work, my turn signals stopped working. Blower/heater as well. Don't know if that is related, but timing leads me to beleive so. When I come to a stop sign, and the brake pedal is depressed, the signals start working. Where can I start? Thanks for any info!

See if the blower will work on high speed.. if so, the blower motor speed control board is burnt up. High speed position doesn't go through the control board. If it won't work on high, check fuse and or relay, or the motor itself.
I don't know about the turn signal lights only working with the brake pedal depressed.. Maybe check the brake light and signal wiring.

So, I also noticed that the airbag light was on while this was happening. I went out andf started it up a few minutes ago, and everything worked normally. So, I have the airbag light, the turn signals, and the blower all malfunctioning at the same time????

Does anyone know if the ignition switch/ multi function switch could be the culprit?

I would say maybe the turn signal switch? Maybe but it sounds like a pretty weird problem

This is driving me crazy. Was wondering if anyone has had any luck fixing it. I have the exact same issue.
