I've unplugged the combo switch for now. Just hope it doesn't rain, LOL!
If the fuse stays then I will go from there. Tom drives the car too and he cannot NOT use the turn signal. He does it without thinking so I couldn't let the switch stay plugged in.
And I looked at the sockets, both front and back and they are all solid. Nothing that could cause a short. The back is so clean it looks brand new.
On the up side, I learned how to take apart the steering column. . .
As for replacing with one from another car, I don't think they're the same.
It may be that I could just plug one in at the plug and leave it hanging and try it but don't know. May try that tomo if I can. Glow plugs and relay for tomorrow. . .
