RE: IML: Turn Signal Switch-82 Imperial From Phil Brust who asked me to forward

["Larry Noska" <lnoska@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have an 82 Imperial. The cruise control did not work, one of the problems
was a dirty contact in the turn signal lever.  I exercised the switch a lot
and it started to make contact again. I exercised  it with a ohm meter
across the contacts, the switch started to work sporadically, and then
normally.  The car had been setting a lot in dads garge.
