Default 2001 zo6

I've been off the forum for about 7 years but I am happy to say I picked up a 2001 ZO6 yesterday so I am back!!! I'm not sure if I'm posting this in the right place or not but here is my problem.
I drove the car home yesterday in the daylight everything was perfect, I took the car out last night and I have no turn signals. Headlights off turn signals work fine headlights on I have no turn signals at all. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Is the car totally stock? No aftermarket lights or electronics?

Totally stock except for the air intake, no aftermarket electronics of any kind. This is my 4th corvette but I never seen this problem before and it seems like not a lot of people have seen it either your the only response I've got. I'm stumped any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Thank you,
It's the first time I have heard about a problem like that, too. It is a strange one.
Long shot. When headlights are on it is drawing more amps. Maybe not enough power left to energize flasher. Bad flasher? Just a guess.

Try pushing the hazard switch on and off 20 times, this is not a joke.

If that works, I will have to remember it and write it down for future reference.

Bill Vette you are the man, JR you need to make a note of I know I will. It took me less than a minute and turn signals work just like they should.

Curiosity Bill what does that do to fix the problem? Does it reset something or?

I really appreciate your help gentlemen, that's why I love this forum there are good people on here and always willing to help. It's good to be back.

Thanks again

The hazard switch and the flasher are together. Sometimes the switch contacts get dirty. The pushing the button cleans the contacts.

Did you discover that by accident or just figured it out? Good job.

yep the signal issue is usuallt tied into the hazard switch somehow.

some people have had good luck spraying electrical cleaner in the hazard switch and a few other places.

Mine started to act up one day and then never did it again after fiddling around with the swit5ches.

Sounds like this should be added to the Tips section of the "Buying and Tech" files. I'll put it in there a bit later and refresh the files on the server.

Look it may not be the final fix, then again it may be. If it continues to be a problem you may have to replace the hazard/flasher unit. I'm retired since 98 and read all posts in almost every thread and over the years. Some of it does stick in this old (69) brain. It's always easy to start simple and work your way up to a fix. Glad it worked for you and didn't cost anything. The reason I put "this is not a joke" is because it sounded kind of funny or off the wall and I was afraid you would just dismiss it and not give it a try. Now go out and enjoy

What if you should only push it 18 times? How about 23 times?
