failed combination switch symptoms

I just reinstalled my dash, again, and I did some wiring changes with the dash harness and a few other things, but nothing that I would think to cause the issue I'm having now so I started digging into the combo switch. The left blinker is on constantly, and changing it to left or right changes nothing. I disconnected X-04 (the blue connector under the column) and it stopped. I checked for continuity and I have it between the B/Y and Y (according to the first pic), the only problem is the FSM says that's the right blinker (according to the second pic) and my wiring is not even close to matching any of these colors (third pic, B/G, B/R, and G/Y on my wiring).




Would someone be willing to verify this on their own car? If I'm not mistaken, continuity between "B/Y" and either of the other wires should only be when those sides are selected, not constant.

Also, I figured I'd start this thread with this title in case anyone else wanted to share their own experiences in one place.

It took another set of eyes but the problem is discovered.

I pulled it apart to show my buddy what was going on, but the right blinker was going this time, even though I was still getting continuity on the same wires. Then the left blinker again. I didn't realize (or I'd forgotten) that the actual switch for the blinker was on the side right behind the stalk and it's actuated by tabs that stick out, tabs that I apparently broke off when I installed the dash again. So I'll need to buy a new combo switch anyway.




I'm still trying to determine why my Speedhut GPS speedo isn't showing any information on the little screen. I think that is the last of the little issues inside the car.

Is it with or without the rear wiper? What condition is it? And how much are you thinking? I'll PM you also.
