Turn Blinker Smokes

[timbo004]

A few weeks ago my blinker would sound but the turn signal wouldn't be set to either right or left. I played with it and it stopped. Now a couple of days ago after I had used the left signal the blinker sound continued and even when not in use. When I turned on the right signal smoke came from the top of steering column. And now the blinking sound will not stop. Does anyone have any helpful information?

Welcome to NICO!!!

About four years ago, my left turn signal stopped working. The electrical harness that connects to the turn signal bulb housing had basically corroded from all the bad weather, extremes in temperature and winter road salt . I cut off the harness, took it into mt local Nissan/Dealer-they gave me a new one and didn't charge me for it and soldered it onto the wire, then used some weatherproof electrical tape and wrapped it around. Turn signal is still working. I suspect your problem is similiar.

I agree with Tim, and i would assume that you might have some open wires touching probably in your steering column.
