Turn Signals working intermittently
Good Morning Everyone,
So I am having issues with my turn signals. As the title says they work intermittently. My car is an 2002 Coupe. Sometimes when I hit the lever they do not turn on. But, while the level is engaged and if I toggle/jiggle the hazard switch they turn on. Is the fix to replace the hazard switch relay that is up and behind the radio, or is there another fix that I am missing.
Thank You,
J

Yes, It's most likely the hazard switch. Kind of a pia job. Some are able to shove their hand up behind there & working blind swap it. Watch a lot of videos & decide which looks best for you. (Or just always be ready to tap the hazard switch to wake up the turn signal)

Before doing any work that involves forcing the switch housing out of the dash, bear in mind that the center vent plastic is 20 or more years old. If the retainer breaks it’s a rattling pain in the butt.
The design is undeniably poor, but proper replacement of the switch requires removal of the dash pad.
