Turn signal delayed

[skorek]

I have a small problem (one of few with my 2000 Disco II. When it gets cold outside, my turn signals are not working properly. When I turn the signal on it starts blinking after 5-7 seconds. After a while (10-15 minutes) when the car warms up they start to work normally!!!??? This problem does not exist during summer months. The hazard lights work immediatelly.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Your help is really appreciated

Turn signal stalk is going bad... the grease in side is turning to more of a mud than a lube.

You may start or already have issues with dash lights and tail lights. Same issue, turn signal/headlight stalk going bad.

Thanks for a quick reply. Is there a way of fixing this besides replacing the whole stalk?

Thanks again.

I tried on mine and it worked for a few weeks (dash/tail light issue), but I am sure if you tear it apart and clean it real well and add some de-electric grease you may make it last.
