    Hey all.

    This is my second 96 tacoma. Always regretted selling the first one and managed to come across a second one. The first one was much nicer, but this one has some "personality".

    The right turn signal doesnt work. Hazards flash all the way around so I believe it is the switch.
    Upon searching for switches is appears for 96 it was not a stand alone switch for the signals. Its a whole assembly including the wiper switch. It also seems as if the steering wheel will need to be removed.

    I pulled the plastic off the column to see whats going on and it does appear that it is not modular. I need the whole shebang. Has anyone come across this problem?

    Any advice?

    Ended up being a loose connection. Now I just have the plastic of the column and I lose my signal I wiggle the wires... Until I find where the problem is exactly

    That's good to know considering the intermittent wiper doesn't work.

    Pretty sure 95-97 used a different turn signal and wiper setup than the rest of the years
