Blinkers wont work

Start by replacing your flasher unit. If that does not solve the problem, you have to diagnose the multi-function switch.

This guide can help you fix it

I have been having issues with my turn signal it will work off and on again. I turn on my turn signal and it will work fine then the next time it doesn't work at all. I have even had it stop working as it was being used. It first happend when i replaised the ignition switch. The led light in my stereo went out for about 2 months but the stereo still works. Then the blinks started acting up and it has been getting more and more frequent. I have had the led light come back on once so I know that it is not out. What could cause the turn signal to work some times and not others? It has to be a short but were? How do i find it?

Hi Pontiac037,

Thank you for the donation.

Problem should be due to a loose wire connection somewhere. It could also be a bad ground, power supply or a faulty component.

When turn signals does not work, does the hazard lights works?

Does both left and right turn fails at the same time?

Are you able to perform tests with a test lamp?

I was able to see if the hazard lights work and they do and it was just the one time i have tried to use them. The turn signals worked fine once i used the my hazard lights. My turn signal came back on like normal and worked for the rest of my trip. Yes if they go out it is both left and right turn signal fail, I have tried to turn on and off the signal and 99% of the time that does nothing at all. I do not have a way to use a test lamp. Thanks for your help

If operating the hazard jump starts the turn signals, the flasher unit could be weak and fails intermittently. Check the flasher unit wire connectors and turn signal fuse for looseness.

What would cause my flashers to not work, and also cause turn signal and emergency lights not to work?

a bad flasher will do this which is part of the hazard flasher switch in your car.

also check hazard lps fuse iniside car

turn signals stopped working- they replaced fuse/circuit panel(?) & flasher, charged $ 260.00 --then STILL didn't work,then said maybe flasher was defective & would replace --- this doesn't sound right

Yep, it sounds like they missed a bad turn signal switch, lets fix this ourselves here is a guide to help check the power and ground of the system with the blinker wiring diagrams so you can see how it works.

Check out the diagrams (Below). Please let us know what you find. We are interested to see what it is.

Thank you for this post I checked the problem out using the guide above and found the hazard switch was no good which is the flasher too. got a new one for 76.00. Here is the location in the diagrams below.

Electrical problem
2002 Pontiac Grand Am 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic

my signal light works sometimes and then it stops working could it be the blinker switch?

Could be the flasher can under dash, some are thermal and when hot will stop working, newer ones are electronic.

my rear turning signal will not work on the driver side even after i replaced the bulbs

So is that the only bulb thats inop?Also do you have a multimeter to do some testing?

only the rear driver side not working but it click fast when i use it.

When you have a bulb out on one side that side will flash faster.So do you have a multimeter and test light to do some testing?

Electrical problem
2000 Pontiac Grand Am Automatic 94000 miles

This morning for the first time ever the turn signals did not work. After about 5-10 minutes they started working again. Could this be because of all the rain Northern NJ has had for the past month or so? Or is something else going wrong?

I need the car to be in tip top shape by Tuesday since we need to travel to another state to be with my mother who is going in surgery. I need to know if its something that has to be immediately addressed.

Thanks!

I had the same problem and it was due to a faulty hazard switch.
When my signal lights failed to work I would just toggle the hazard switch till the signals started to work.
I think there is a recall on this problem if it is still valid.

Yeah I have the same problem with my 2000 Grand Am. I've hear on several forums that there is a recall on the faulty relay switch. When mine don't work I simply just push my hazards button twice and the blinkers come on. I'm only doing that for now though until I can get up to the dealership for the recall.

Hey my girlfriend has a 2000 pontiac grand am and her signal lights only WORK occasionally, fuses are good relay was replaced. Sometimes they work if you turn the 4 way flashers on then off again. Anyone got any ideas

2 things to check 1st is the flasher its like $20 from dealer 2nd is turn signal switch. which is also lights,wipers,ect about $120 from parts store

The flasher and the singal light switch assembly has been replaced ( though i mentioned that sorry )
any other ideas

there is a recall on certain models that the hazzard control switch,which also is the blinker for the turn signals malfunctions. Call Pontiac 1800 620 7668 to see if you qualify to get fixed for free.
