• Answer:

  99% of the time it's the combination switch (the column switch assembly that houses the turn signal stalk and the headlight stalk). They're not designed extremely well. If it's the stalk, it's about an hour long job yourself to change it out, and the part is about $158 new. You do have to deal with the airbag though (the steering wheel has to come off), so if you dont know how to do it, it may be better to have it done by a shop.
