1982 300D turn signal

I was merging onto the highway with my left turn signal on and about halfway into the merge the turn signal stopped working. The dash lights and the external lights don't flash anymore in either direction.

I don't know if its related but I replaced the voltage regulator and the battery the weekend before because it started to need a jump every morning.

Please give me some suggestions for starting to troubleshoot this issue.

85-300SD Battery Drains Dead Nightly?

I am baffled finding direction for a solution with problem. Every morning I need a jump start. I have a new Bosch battery purchased 30 days ago. Once charged it runs for the day. However, when I start the car throughout the day the driver front seat starts to move forward until the car slowly fires backup? This is recent situation and I have not made any significant changes to the 300SD that would affect this situation.

Need troubleshooting advice. Thanks for any guidance.

84 300SD weak ignition switch

I have an 84 300 SD with 279,000 miles. My wife has a key ring on the ignition key. After 28 years the weight has caused the ignition switch return spring to weaken to the point with just the key in the ignition alone it won't return to the II spot. My question is, is that spring that returns the switch to the run position in the key part of the lock itself or the is it part of the larger locking mechanism?
