Nissan Repair: Turn signal indicator - 96 Sentra, minor collision, wrecking yard


Question
My girlfriend was recently in a minor collision which left the right front fender somewhat "cosmetically challenged." Since then, the right turn signal does not work. The lens is broken but the bulb seems intact. I am thinking the entire assembly should be replaced; my question is twofold: (a.) is this a difficult procedure? and (b.) what should I reasonably expect to pay if I have it done professionally?

Thank you in advance for your time.

Answer
Michael,

The turn signal indicator can be picked up at the wrecking yard for $50 or so Dollars.  At the dealer you are going to pay upwards of a couple of hundred for the part and the same for labor if they have to bend things out to get the new one installed.  Do it yourself it is much less expensive.
