Turn Signal Switch malfunction

Do you have power at the switch? All the contacts are right there

Yes, as far as I can tell, there is power there. I can push, pull, wiggle, finagle the emergency flasher knob and once in a while get the lights to flash once, maybe twice, but when the knob is locked in place, nada!

You can’t diagnose electrical problems by looking at things. You are going to need a test light at a bare minimum. It sounds like maybe the switch is bad but you can’t tell by looking at it

Should the emergency flashers work with the key off? I can finagle the flasher push button and get the flashers to work…somewhat, with the key on. The flasher can clicks, but no dash signal lights, no front flashing lights, but have tail lights flashing. Turn the key off while flashing and they stop.

Yes they work with the key off.
