Default Turn signal

Hello all,
I took my vette to the dealer today and they want to keep it all day and do some wire chasing. Before I go this route maybe someone can help me out. First none of my bulbs are burned out, when I put on the 4 way flashers on all lights flash including the turn indicators inside the car. Now, my right turn signal works fine. The situation : when I put my left turn signal on my left turn signal lights in the rear flash rapidly. The front doesn't blink at all and the turn indicator inside the car (left) does not come on at all. I can hear the turn signal indicater flashing rapidly inside the car. I did replace the left front turn bulb just to make sure and this didn't change anything. I've done a search and most of them deal with a burned out bulb, a couple of others deal with the replacement of the 4 way hazard. Any help other than don't make left hand turns :lol: will greatly be appreciated.

The Best advice I can give you when it comes to Electrical problems is to let the Dealership fix them for you. :yesnod:

The flasher is built into the "Hazard Switch" a lot of them are going bad after a few years. I had one changed in my OLDSMOBILE that had the same problems. It was a $25 switch. You have to remove the dash on the C5 to change the switch. I would let the dealer change mine ... Bill

I had this same problem with mine. Took it to the dealership to get it fixed today. Sometimes my blinker would work, sometimes it wouldn't. I thought it was something I did with my stereo install, but it turned out that wasn't the case.

My dealership charged me about 150 bucks to get it fixed.

Mine is now giving me problems. Sometimes the turn signals don't work at all. The thing I hate is removing the nitrous. I may take it in and hope they don't do much under the hood.
