Turn signals
 
My front turn signals do not work. I have replaced the bulbs and the outlets and they still only occasionally work and by that I mean once every couple of weeks. What are my next steps?

Welcome to the site, the multi switch on the left of the steering column maybe faulty, seems unreasonable if the rear bulbs flash normally check the ground wires by the signal lights . I have to ask , are you using LED bulbs? Or is there evidence that a previous owner had installed resistors, look on the wires for cut marks.
Seeing as you list your year as 2006, have you checked fuses, dlr would be one to inspect.
I don’t recommend using your email address for your username, send me a PM with what you would like it changed to , or I can simply remove the email part. Let me know

The front and rear turn signals are on separate circuits because the 2006 DRL is the front turn signals. However, all of the park/turn/marker/license/DRL are on fuse #68 under hood.

Check the ground wires. The bulbs should be 3157kx (LL) in the front to avoid melting the lens. Rears get 3057kx(LL) They are larger and hotter. The parts guys will try to sell 3057 for all of them, they "fit" but burn too hot.

PST... you might want to remove the @ part from your post now that the username is fixed...:thumb:

On a related tangent to the original post... how easy or difficult is it to change out the headlamp/turn signal control arm ???? The automatic turn signal shutoff broke last year & I have to manually shut off the turn signal each time.

It’s an easy job , here’s a how to that includes removal and replacement of the multi switch
