Intermitten turn signal...

[dmkoger]

Just bought a 2000 coupe last week. Yesterday while driving both turn signals quit working, then last night they were working again. Either they both work, or neither does. I'm guessing this isn't a bulb problem? Does the car have a flasher unit, and where is it located? Any suggestions appreciated.

Left of the center dash AC vent is the Hazard Warning Flasher. It costs $35. That is your culprit. Unfortunately, you need to take out parts of the dash to replace it.

If you search the Forums, you will see instructions on how to take apart enough of the dash to get to it. My buddy who owns a repair shop did it for me. He said that he got to it by removing the stereo and reaching up, and did not have to remove to dash pad.

Meanwhile, if the turn signals stop working, you can probably get them to work again if you either 1) bang on the dash above the Hazard Switch, or 2) push the Hazard switch in and out a bunch of times.

I guess you can tell that I'm right on top of GM engineering issues!

Good luck!!
