Hi, I am having a problem with my turn signals not working on my 2000 vet. When they quit I can turn on my 4 way flashers and let them blink maybe 2 to 3 times and shut them off and try the signals and they will work for awhile usually and sometimes for quite awhile. I've checked the fuse for them in the fuse box under the passenger foot well and took out all of the small fuses and put them back in in the fuse box in the engine compartment and it still does the same thing. So was wondering if anyone has had the same problem or has any suggestions? Thanks for any help on this. Russ

Do a quick search for hazard switch replacement. Should get the info you need. Or just press the switch lots of times every few days to try and keep the contacts clean.

I have a 2000 Vert Vet also. The last year or so, I started to have the same problem. I bought the relay harness which installs under the dash. Its made to reduce hyper flash on aftermarket tail lenses.

It worked on the flasher also. 15 minute job

Thanks Jack for your reply. I will try working the switch in and out a few times and see if that helps. So you think that the hazard switch is what's causing the signals to not work! Do you know how the hazard switch comes out? Thanks again, Russ

I don't have any aftermarket taillights, so are you saying that with the problem I'm having this harmess will still take care of it? Also where is the best place to order one and about what's the cost? Thanks Phil. Russ

Do a search and you will find the fix for this. The turn and emergency flasher is 1 unit. What people are doing instead of replacing the whole flasher unit in the dash (where the button is) is locating the wires from your turn signal switch and installing a regular flasher from the auto parts store under the steering wheel. You can do this for under $10.00
Heres the thread for the fix

You don't have to buy the plug you can use 2 female spade connectors to the flasher.

I used this fix on our '02 coupe. I used Tridon flasher EL-12, got it at autozone.
Simple, remove knee panel, follow the link, replace panel, done!

100% plug n play. Not sure I would want to hack my wires up.

Yes it will fix your issue. You do not need leds installed for it to work.

[QUOTE=JW@JWMotoring.com;1578611230]100% plug n play. Not sure I would want to hack my wires up.

This simply involves cutting 2 wires under the dash and installing 2 female spade terminals to plug into a new flasher.
I didn't see any step which called for "hack the wires" in the instructions. Maybe you can point that step out.
Must have missed that.

No cutting with our harness.

I installed the below harness before my tail lights and it work. Then I said what the heck, I might as well get the tail lights lol.

Thats the one I bought. Im 6'2" 240 lbs and taking apart the dash to get to the hazard flasher, or splicing wires under the steering wheel, didnt sound fun while upside down

15 minutes plug in the harness and drive.

Is this turning into an antisymantic thread?

There is no "hacking of wires" in the Link Shadowman1 posted.

I and others have used this very same fix, it's quick, clean and will Permanently fix the signal problem.

Cost? $9.00 for the high quality Tridon flasher.
Edit: You connect it by sitting on the seat not "upside down under the steering wheel".

If you want to spend $60.00 and 15 minutes of your time go this route.





If you want to spend $9.00 - $10.00 and 15 minutes of your time go this route.

Either way, it fixes the problem.
