my take on it since having problems with turn sincle canceling and cruise and wipers etc it is in your switch there in your sterring column. not hard at all esp since you dont have an air bag no matter if i disconnect it and if i am carful i always get fearful when working on a sterring column w/an airbag. the easiest way to do it sint to pull the sterring wheel off. i will explain things as if you were sitting in the drivers seat. the trim panel above where your legs go will come out/off then there will be either 3/4 or 15/16th nuts and the steering column will literall drop down *******************************the gear shift selector is attached on top of this can be a huge pain if you break it to go up into the dash to replace or if you pull it out of the guage cluster can be a huge pain*********** loosen the nuts SLIGHTLY (they dont give you any extra at all) it is attached to the top of the sterring colum w/a little silver clip slides off its a little white "wire" looking thing undo that and take those 2 nuts off. the steering column will drop down and theres a 2 piece plastic cover (2 piece one on top one on bottom) just snaps together pry apart gently once those 2 plastic pieces are off the switch is held on there w/screws or 1/4inch bolt screws take 4 of them off that whole switch will come out after you unplug the wires. you take it to a dealer and junk yard get a new one. theres no sense trying to take it apart and replace it if having problems with the wipers cruise etc if it were jsut the turn singal canceling you can replace springs that are inside of it but no sense if having other problems. word of warning going to a junk yard you never know what you are getting if it will work or not. most likely will if vehicle got rear ended etc but for how long before the springs in that breaks etc.
