What causes my right turn signal to not work? Front or back!

I have a weird problem with the right turn signal on my 2004 Buick LeSabre! Some times it works and other times it does not work. A week or so ago, it started doing this and it has steadily gotten worse. Now it will work once in a while if I can hold the lever in a certain spot. Lights and flasher are all good and all the turn signal lights flash if I put the emergency switch on. Left turn signal works fine. Hoping this isn't something that means steering wheel needs removed to fix! Any help would surly be appreciated.

    Thought I'd better add, thjs is both front and back turn signals on right side and when they don't work, light on dash does not light either. Dash light works with left signal and flashers.

Your worst fears are my guess. The multifunction switch has a problem and needs attention. Might not be the switch assembly, could be just a wire or the body control module. It sounds like you can easily reproduce the symptom, so a competent tech should be able to narrow down the cause quickly. A decent mechanic could fix it in an hour or two.

    Thanks Jeff! Guess I'll have to do some searching. Went on JC Whitney chat and they wanted to sell me the whole turning signal lever with the switch inside it. Wrong switch for $295.

2004 buick lasabre, right side turn signal blinking fast.

Check the front turn signal bulbs. This will affect the resistance in the circuit and cause the working light to flash at a much faster rate.

Replace the signal flasher for 2002 buick le sable

Looks like the same problem I had on my 2004 Lumina. If the brake lights all work but not the left AND right signals both do not work it is most likely the flasher which is under the driver side of the dash. If you barely move the turn signal lever and the right or left turn on briefly then it is the switch OEM part number 26093875 verify the numbers to match your vehicle. The switch is located in the steering column and can be changed out in about 30 min. Be careful on keeping track of how you take it apart and put it back together.
