    This is a bit outside of the Pontiac bubble, but we need some help. My fiance recently had to replace the steering column in his 87 Monte Carlo. When he did this he also put on a Grant GT wheel. Upon doing so, both turn signal blink intermittently and not as bright. For instance 1 short blink, out for 2-3 seconds, the 3 quick blinks. The four ways work beautifully, bright consistent blinks. Also the wiper will work when flicked for Mist, but when used regular, they have to be held in position to stay on. You cannot let go or nothing happens. The horn on the new wheel does not work either.

    This may possibly confuse or help things further, the reason why I am even posting this is because he put yet a different column in today that actually matches down to the part number, (which the last one did not). Now we have the same exact problem with the new column. Any ideas would be appriciated!

    them old cars, well to put it nicely, the turn signal switches suck! when you take the wheel off ( well i did anyways) every time i broke the signal switch, they do sell a new plate to install, but you really need to know what you are doing to make it work again, i paid some one years ago to fix mine the last time it happened to me.

    with the wheel off you have the flimsy turn lever, the springs and metal tabs that are the contacts i believe?

    like this?

    and i think if the blinkers fail to work right it takes the horn with it. ground issue.

    make sure all of your column connections are clean too, a dab of di electrical grease is always good too.
