    2007 4900ex and the turn signal doesn’t shut off when turning. Have to manually shut it off. Should I just put in a new multifunction switch? Or is there something else I should be looking at?

    Much thanks!

    A LOT Of trucks don’t shut off by themself

    I don’t see it as a big deal to some it might be that extra step they have to take to move the middle finger down and Shut it off.

    My truck 10 years newer than yours and it doesnt shut off either. I guess them engineers couldnt wrap there head around it . or its probably some unwritten safety feautre i would imagine. It dont take much work to move ur hand up n down a couple times. Might give ya a work out if ya do alot of turnin but hell i just think it builds character

    Been looking for a couple trucks and can’t touch any Stars that aren’t ragged to crap for a decent price. Drivers in Central Florida love Volvo’s and there’s a good dealer, so it’s what I’m leaning to for expansion. I’m keeping my WS glider still and always on the lookout for a good WS deal even if the turn signals don’t turn off by themselves.

    I thought I read on here somewhere that you had multiple trucks before and lost your ###, sold off all but one and said you’d never do that again. Or do I have you confused with someone else?

    Yeah that happened during the Great Recession the late 2000’s. I was gun shy for a decade. A few opportunities have presented themselves though. Heck, I never thought I’d be a broker again, either, but here I am. Never say never, I guess.
