Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: All lights, brake lights, hi-low beams and running lights work! all panel lights and interior lights work. turning signals & emergency flashers do not work at all! it is as though the wires in the steering column were disconnected from both the turning stick (switch) and the emergency switch? checked every fuse in fuse box under hood and they all look ok. assume no bulb problem because there was and is no fast blink... it seems like the problem was first noticed during an all day rain storm...very dangerous situations came about because i assumed directional were still working during several turns...then someone almost hit me when i was changing lanes....i thought it was just a dumb driver till it happened a few more times....then i noticed no turn signals...very scary (vin: [xxx])! information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr
