Three problems related to turn signal switch have been reported for the 1996 Ford Taurus. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
This failure is a safety hazard. While driving the power steering stops working at random, the electric windows quit working, and the seat belt light comes on! they all appear to be related to this mlp/tr switch. I searched the internet and found 4 other occurrences that were reported. When I call the local Ford service garage, the service manager knew exactly what my problem was and sold me the sensor switch. He was aware that the power steering stops working when these symptoms occur. I experienced the power steering failing on a turn and had much trouble controlling the car. I'm worried that my daughter would not have been able to control the car.
While driving the light switch assembly became hot. Dealer has been notified. Please provide further details.
Wipers not operating properly, due to failure of the multi-function switch.
