Turn signal problems

AleroDrime · 10-31-2009, 10:21 AM

About one in the morning my turn signals quit working. Fuse C on the drivers side panel is fine. Everyonce in a while last night they would work for a few seconds and quit alltogether.

hazard can work fine, its the solder in the button, YOU DO KNOW that the hazard button is also the turnsignal thing? you fail

Does your horn work?
If not then its the ground to the relay under the hood.

Hazard button can be bought anywhere that sells auto parts

did you try cleaning the turn signal switch

Hazard button is like $20 online at GMpartsdirect. Takes maybe 15-30 minutes to replace, and BOOM! Your done.

i have the same prob if u press the hazard button half way a good indication is that your button will buzz i dunno why but in a pinch hit the top of your dash it will work or press the button in half way

kingjames64 · 10-31-2009, 04:58 PM

dude listen to nate and matt its the hazard switch I promise

01OldsAleroGt · 10-31-2009, 05:26 PM

yea.. i have the same issue with it working on and off... gotta pull out my hazard and check it.. the signals will work when i love tap the dash when they stop working. But yea.. listen to em

undersc0re · 10-31-2009, 10:12 PM

Those hazard buttons are defective, they had an issue with cold solder joints, and the little tiny resistors or whatever in there come loose(solder joint cracks barely noticable) which is why when ya push on the switch sometimes your lucky enough to make a connection to get your signals to work, if your lucky enough to notice which one and have very good soldering skills maybe you can fix it and put it back in. The signals circuit goes right through that hazard switches circuit board so it affects the signals, sometimes they work and sometimes they click like crazy etc....It was a recall/safety issue around 2001. The dealer should do it for ya at no cost.

Mine just started acting up last night for the first time.

Used the SEARCH BUTTON and it works great. I didn't even have to start a new thread.

$18.58 on eBay, brand new, shipped right to my door. ACDelco part number 10359040

You get a GOLD star Ken.

Mine started doing this too but is resolved by a simple light nudge up with a finger to the hazard button. Once it gets worse I'll replace the hazard button. Thanks for the info!

like was probably said you may have to pull your multifunction switch and clean it...Mine worked fine for about a week and then it started acting up again...cleaned multifunction switch and all is good
