That may be a problem in the turn signal switch or steering column.

Hmm. My 2K does that too, rarely. I just re-cycle the turn signal, maybe one
day I'll replace the flasher unit, which is what I suspect is the problem.

The problem, Dave, with WD-40 as a rust protector is its short life. It
evaporates too soon to provide protection more than a few days. Since WD-40
came out, there have been a whole slew of better products that last longer.
Its is my last choice as a lubricant and rust protectant but my first choice
as a water displacer in wet electrical circuits or as a mild solvent. I
have to "bite my tongue" on my overall opinion of WD-40 when I visit WD-40's
corporate headquarters here in San Diego on business. :)

I use it the same as Jerry.

I find it is great for cleaning dirt out of things like starters and
alternators and I like the fact that it evaporates away quickly so it
doesn't attract too much more dirt.

I also now normally use it inside my distributor cap 'before' I go
puddle jumping. One good shot 'usually' will keep the condensation out
of the cap when cold water splashes on it. It really works well after
the water gets in too.

I normally only need the one distributor cap spray per trip.
