Passenger side turn signal problems - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

lukecp · 05-05-2002, 09:37 PM

Well, my passenger side turn signals dont work at all. When i move the lever to put them on, they don't blink, the indicator dosne't make a clicking noise, and the little arrow in the dashboard stays green, instead of blinking. The driver's side work fine, and everything flashes, including the passenger side, when i put on the hazard lights. I yanked off the steering wheel, and the turn signal cam looks OK. Is my switch shot? Should i got to the Chevy dealer to get a AC delco one, or will a parts store one work just as good? Thanks for the help!

usually when the little green light stays on you have a burned out bulb. and when the green thing stays off it is usually your flasher fuse deal. but thats all i could think of, good luck, Ben

Yes the blulbs are fine, since all my marker lights on both sides flash when i turn on when the hazards are on. But when i try to use it to turn right, the green idicator lights dosent flash, but stays on, the indicator dosen't make the "tick-tick-tick" noise, and the right hand lights don't blink.

It'll be in your wiring somewhere most likely. You only have one blinker assembly, and if one works, the trouble is elsewhere. (the tic tock piece in your fuse box)
i wouldn't be suprised it it was the switch assembly, I've seen them do some real crazy things.
