I jump started a car the other day and now the headlights,wipers and turn signals are inop after the vehicle starts. Before that everything is functioning normally.

yes the switch
kind of a big job to do
pull air bag st.wheel wiper/turn signal switch and upper st bracket then you can get to the switch

but you need to turn the key back just a bit to conferm that this is the problem

the key switch looses power in a spot and you need to roll the key back just a little
fix it by replacing the switch
