The signal wire going to the right front has a splice for the dash indicator, a wire branching off from the turn wire and going to the dash. It sounds like that right signal wire is broken or lost a connection before it splices off to the dash, so the problem sounds like it is under the dash, either coming out of the turn signal switch to the flasher or from the flasher to that splice. You may need a multi-meter to check voltages on that wire at various places under the dash. Ascertain which color wire you need to concentrate on. Check for voltage on it with key on and right blinker on-voltmeter will spike to battery voltage, then fall to zero as the flasher breaks voltage continuously, if checked after the flasher. If checked when leaving the turn switch, it should be a continuous signal on that wire. Think you better find a wiring diagram to find the right wire to check. Good luck.
There is more than one flasher. One is for hazards and the other flasher is for directional signals. They are located under dash just left and right of the steering column. Don't go tearing up the steering column, then you are asking for trouble. Try the least expensive and labor intensive fix first.
1st off the right blinker,does it blink fast or not at all
if it blinks fast, check the bulbs
if it is not blinking and the dash light also don't work
the multifunction switch could be bad(turnsignal,light switch)
if your other break light is working start by checking the bulbs
take the verified good one and try it in the other side
if the bulbs are good check the fuses under dash and under hood carefully
Sounds like the blinker relay. Is the emergency flasher switch on the dash above the radio ? If it is the blinkers relay is the same as the emergency relay. If the blinkers stop working pound on the emergency lights switch and if they start working then replace the emergency lights relay switch cause the blinkers is on the same relay as the emergency lights. My 2001 Grand Am does the same and I just hit the emergency lights switch and they start working again.
Hello, what you should do is if the blinkers just stay on constant when you turn them on means that the turn signal flasher is bad, it is located under the dash on the drivers side below the steering wheel. it will be a little silver cylinder with two wires coming off of it. General Motors usually puts them up against a bar under the dash.
The right blinker issue sounds like you have one bulb out either front or rear check them both. The left blinker issue sounds like either bulbs(both out) or fuse, or worst case blinker switch has gone bad on left turn only so not picking up the signal.
THERE IS A BLINKER RELAY UNDER THE DASH. IF YOU CAN GET ONE OF THE BLINKERS TO BLINK YOU CAN HEAR THE RELAY LISTEN CLOSLEY THEY PUT THESE THINGS IN SOME HARD TO GET PLACES
Did you replace the hazard/flasher/blinker relays?- they are in the fuse block usually.
This is weird, but try this: Turn on your hazard lamps and turn your steering wheel all the way left and all the way right.
Then turn on your left blinker and hold the blinker on while you turn all the way left, then right. It will click and try to turn it off but keep it held down and turned on. Then do the right blinker the same way.
I have had this problem with every GM I've ever had, something about the detent-return and the blinker relays getting reset. I'm not sure why it works, but if your flasher relays are good and your fuses,bulbs and wires are good then this is probably what will fix ya. I've had this happen often enough that I always do this first. My GM vehicles were/are all 60s to 90s models- old school, but try this before you do anything else with it it's free and only takes about 15 seconds to do. Sometimes I have to do it more than once, but eventually the detents reset and they work. Viola!
Good luck and please rate this solution if it fixes ya!
