Lately my turn signals on my 00 Coupe have been intermittent. I'll be driving along and go to change lanes, for example, and nada! No signals! What I have found is that if I turn on my emergency flashers for a few seconds, then my turn signals will start working again (for a while). Does this sound like a relay and if so, where is it located and can I change it myself?

Thanks,
DH

 

Common problem,time to replace that hazard switch...That is your signal flasher,so to speak ;) You have to remove the upper dash pad to get at it :crazy:

 

Oh crap, you mean the Dash Top? Yikes! That sounds daunting! (especially since I have a dash mat steam fitted at the moment.

 

:yesnod:

 

Any instructions on how to safey remove the top and get to the Flasher relay?

 

It is not as bad as it looks,I can have one off in 5-10 minutes :D This is out of the service manual

Remove the console. Refer to Console Replacement .
Remove the IP accessory trim plate. Refer to Trim Plate Replacement - Instrument Panel (I/P) Accessory .

Insert the DRL and sunload sensors, if equipped, into the nearest openings in the windshield defroster duct. Moving the sensors into the defroster duct provides additional clearance to remove the trim pad.

Tilt the steering wheel to the lowest position.
Lift the rearward edge of the upper trim pad approximately 5 cm (2 in) to provide clearance for the air distribution duct located on the underside of the trim pad.
SLOWLY pull the upper trim pad away from the windshield while guiding the tabs on the LH and RH side of the trim pad past the hinge pillars.



Disconnect the hazard warning switch electrical connector.
Remove the upper trim pad from the vehicle :thumbs:

 

I sent you diagrams from the GM service manual and what you will need to replace the hazard switch. Good Luck.

 

Just had mine done by the dealer last week. Luckily my car was still under warranty and they already had the parts in stock so I was in and out in a flash. Something went right for me at the dealer for once! :cheers:
