Turn signals come one sporadically, hazard lights not at all. Could this be the turn signal relay needing replaced?

Do you mean they only work once in awhile?

Yes sometimes they will work other times they wont, hazard lights dont work at all. All the other lights work fine.

If they light up but not flash, then the flasher needs replaced. If nothing turns on when actuated, then I would suspect the switch is going bad.

If they decide to work, they light up and blink, So replacing the multi switch is the way to go? Also the most expensive way lol

I feel that is where the problem is coming from. However, have it tested before purchasing a new one.

How do you have it tested? Remove and take it to like Oreillys?

Earlier today when i left for work i noticed that my blinkers are not working, they make absoulutely no noise when i turn em either way could it maybe be a fuse or another problem i do have a 97 olds bravada so i'm hoping someone can help me out thanks.

hello and thanks for donating!


are the indicators in dash coming on at all? if not, check for faulty signal fuse. also check turn signal flasher relay if fuse is OK. if both are OK then suspect faulty signal (multi function) switch.

Some parts stores will do it for you. You will need to call and ask.

Last question i promise, can they test it on the vehicle or do i need to remove it?

Hi, Thank you for using 2CarPros.com. We appreciate your donation and look forward to helping you in the future.

It would be tested differently on the car and I doubt a store would do it. Please, contact the stores around you to make sure they can do it before you go to all the trouble. Also, make sure the battery is disconnected at least 30 minutes before you start working around the air bag.

So i replaced the multi switch hazard lights come for a bit then shut of on there own.also when i hit the brake the left turn signal light comes on.i don't know where to go from here. Could it be a sign of a bigger electrical problem?

You need to find a wiring schematic and double check all the connections. I have access to one, but I have no way to copy and paste it.

I put the left signal on the lite on the dash lit but did not blink. The same for the right a couple miles later. Got home tried both again neither lit. 4-way flashers work , fuse is good , reverse lights ok , same fuse as turn signal , checked bulbs when 4-way flashers were on - ok . Is there a relay for the turn signals ? & if so where is it located ?

It is in the power distribution center (below and in front of radio)

I wired it exactly the way it was. I'll take it to this mechanic friend of mine this weekend to get a second opinion, maybe he can see something i cant.

Let me know what you find.
