If anyone can see if they find the EFE fuse / relay or directional assembly here on rockauto.com I'd be grateful
Just want to make sure am not missing it

E-Torx is what it's called and what you're doing is removing the air-bag, you haven't yet gotten to the nut holding the steering wheel.

Had high beams fleetingly, tested them by pulling stalk towards me as if to flash someone as that's how they worked before I'd have to hold it in place, and they worked... after releasing stalk and trying again they didn't come on... now I know it's not the bulbs ..

I’m reading the rest of your posts, but disconnect that EFE. You probably don’t need it. Run the car and see if you find that it does not run well without it. I think (hope) you’ll find that there was no need for this in an fuel injected engine.

I don’t have a parts manual for your car, but perhaps the combination switch for your car is also made for others, or aftermarket. If you (or anyone) can find the part number, sometimes if you put it into yoyopart.com you can find other cars that use this same combination switch.

That is pretty much what the mechanic said.. with the caveat that he wasn't 100% certain.. am really nervous to do anything different you know old cars you change one thing n the whole thing falls apart can't risk it
Would it potentially stop the 30 amp fuse from blowing to replace the efe? Do you think the efe is failing causing the 30 amp to blow or there's a short between it and the PTC fuse causing it to blow?

Just leave the 30A fuse out.

Re-did list - am only needing blinkers and hazards to work.. high beams too but not imperative at this time - can drive during day without them - rightnow am stuck with no blinkers...

Components not working or failing:

• Blinkers - all four external, arrows on dash.
• Hazards - all four
• High beams - will check bulbs
• PTC 30A fuse in small relay box under hood blows on startup- unplugging efe and it doesn't blow
• Rear window defrost - this never worked
• Emergency brake light stays lit on dash
• Shift arrow stays lit on dash
• Heater fan on any setting except high

Components that are working:

-Windshield wipers
-Windshield washer fluid spray
-DRL
-Headlights
-Parking lights [these are different lights than the blinkers]
-Horn
-Inside dashboard light
-Interior dome light
-Door ajar and key in ignition beeping

The heater fan works off of a resistor. When that resistor stops working, the heater fan will only work on high speed.
PTC fuse. Use Fordem’s suggestion. Just remove the fuse.
I’d check wiring for everything else. You have the diagrams, so you should be able to check for voltage/resistance on each of the wiring circuits for the following things that aren’t working:
Blinkers/hazards. Both work off of the turn signal relay. You may want to check the wiring going to that.
High beams.. Probably unlikely that both bulbs burned out at the same time. High beams work off of a separate wire circuit than the low beams. So again, check the wiring.
Emergency brake light. Works off of a switch and wiring.
Shift arrow. Also switch and wiring.

Yes checked wiring for turn signal relay

 

[Bex]

When you check the wiring for the turn signal relay, you have battery voltage going to the relay, correct? And if you turn on, say, your blinkers and then check the wiring coming out from the turn signal relay, do you get voltage going on and off (like a blinker would) or nothing??

Got air bag off to find large hex bolt holding steering wheel on and shop didn't have tool for...

Found a test light to test wires and will try that ...

Next goal is getting the assembly out and finding part number / seeing if it's fixable

Wire testing too with test light if I can find someone to help / show how to use

 

[Bex]

Using the test light should be simple enough….for example, probe the wire where you expect the 12v circuit with the test light problem and ground the other wire of the test light to a chassis ground (metal surface). There will be youtube videos that also show you how

I remember how to use now after reading your post

Part # for combination switch is 37400-50G30

Haven't found.. not on yoyopart.com

Car-part.com, US and Canada salvage yard clearance house site where I got an alternative for the car doesn't list a combination switch, can anyone see a switch in the list tha may be it
