Turn Signals

I am having problems with my turn signals on my 2001 Corvette, at times they will work, but most of the time they won’t work. It seems like when it is hot that is when they stop working. Any suggestions

your factory flasher is going bad. it's a common problem.

you can get a flasher bypass harness and run an electronic flasher to cure what ails ya.

with Jason thats probably the cause. If not, it's the turn signal switch. Both are notoriously unreliable.

Try Gene Culley at gmpartshouse.com or Bob at Fichtner Chevrolet for the best prices.

Don't bother changing the hazard switch, it'll only go bad again in the future. Richards bi-pass cable is definitely the way to go. I did this 2 years ago and "bingo", perfectly working turn signals all the time. It'll cost ya $55-$60 bucks and 20 minutes to install!! You'll smile everytime you use your turn signal
