Aunt of mine had the same issue, switch!

 

i pretty much got the same problem and am gonna switch the switch this weekend. ill let you know if you owe him $5.

 

That would be really handy, I dont want to rip the steering comumn apart if its not the switch. But chances are hes right because when i flip my hazards in the buttons gotta be in a certian spot or it dont work. My biggest trouble is most of my tols were stolen and I can not find a screw driver to fit in that back hole on the bottom (I dont have tilt wheel..lol).

 

well taking it apart would be the perfect time to add a tilt wheel

 

yeah it is only a few screws and one torx pretty simple.

 

Well, After Trying two switches I can safely say the problem is not fixed (Whoo im 5 bucks richer! :P)

Any other ideas: Heres the symptoms again.

Vehicle 1999 Dodge Neon (Featureless). 2.0L 4 Cyl SOHC 5-Speed

* The Rear side Drivers tail lights will not flash with Hazards, Brakes or Turn signals .
* The bulb DOES come on when the head lights are on (running lights as it were)
* As far as I can tell the only bulbs that are out: Drivers side front marker, Rear 3rd Tail.
* The Other lights on the circut Work fine but blink at a high rate of speed including the indicator on the insturment panel.


I Have Done:

Replaced Fuses (15 amp and 10 amp)
Changed Switches on column.
New bulbs.

Red Text!: I do not know if this poses any extra insight, however my Fiance just reminded me of an oddity thats happened a few times that maybe has something to do with this issue or maybe not?

On occasion a couple of times, when i started my car, the blinkers did not work, the heater controls did not work, may have been other things but i couldnt tell (radio is hard wired to battery, no other features really in the car like ac and junk)

Maybe this is something that will spark an old memory

 

^^Also The above edit in problem, it goes away when i restart the car and has not happened in a while.

 

Shameless bump in other news, it helps loads if your dash board insturments are plugged in all the way.

 

My first shot at being an electrician.

I ran a wire from my negative battery cable all the way to the back of the car, and probed the three ground wires next to the lights ( Seems like i have two on one side and one on the other (the one is on the side that works) For a minute one of them read off the wall (displayed a 1 than running up and down numbers) after a few more tests, they were all stable at around 03.5 to around 04.9. I read this is within specs for a ground wire but does any of this sound odd or otherwise wrong? I fail with electrics to if i sucked at trying this lemme know :P

 

I had the exact same problem opposite side and took off comboswitch and saw a bent connection that was for that side bent it back works perfect
