This is interesting since I am currently waiting for my steering column in
my TR6 to burst into flames. I've been under the impression that the
trafficator switch is on its way to ceasing functioning as occasionally
I'll be driving along and look down to see tendrils of smoke rising from
the switch but with all my other current LBC problems I just cannot find
the time to dig into the electrical system.
