Defect
Within the column switch, the crimp connection on the internal wiring connector terminals is insufficient. This allows insulating material to form in the gap between the terminal and the wire, causing poor electrical continuity. As a result, the headlights, parking lights, front fog lamps, tail lights, license plate lights, and the interior lighting linked to the switch may fail to illuminate or may flicker, and the turn signals may become inoperative.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the column switch internal wiring with a corrected part.
