If the blue indicator light in the instrument panel toggles on & off, the switch & hold circuit are working.
Next check:
wiring
connectors
relays
lamps

The blue light on the dash doesnt come on and for that matter, neither do the turn indicator lights on the dash. I figured that because the FTP is functional that the switch must be in working order.Could a bad switch also cause the interior turn signal lights to not work even though the turn signals all function perfectly on the exterior of the car??

I have several types of headlight switches for the FC available right now. including the new show ones, that allow you to turn on the headlights without raising them, and then raise them using the cleaner switch instead of them always coming up.
