If all the bulbs are good, it's starting to sound like the turn signal switch.

Member Lionelhutz is good with issues such as this. I would PM him. He would probably be able to nail it down for you.

When we bought our '02, the signals only worked part time, big pain and safety hazard. :ack:
This Permanent and easy Fix costs $9.00 and about 45 min. time to complete.

Hope you can get the signals working.

I just had this happen to me and was able to fix it with the help of this thread! Thank you to Lionelhutz for the directions and write up!

As others had experienced, my turn signals stop working at times and worked fine other times. When they stopped working, pushing on the hazard switch would get them going again, but sometimes that would only last for a few miles then they would go out again.

I decided to just bypass the hazard switch completely for the left and right turn signal. Hazard button still works the same. I specifically sought out the Tridon EL12 Flasher at Autozone since it is electro-magnetic based as opposed to thermal based. It will last 10X longer! The thermal based flashers are usually square cubes or cylinder shaped. They are also cheaper for a reason $3.99 vs $8.99. On the Tridon EL12 you can see the electro-magnetism working as it clicks on and off since the housing is transparent.

Lionelhutz's write up was pretty clear and easy to follow. Everything works just fine and now no worries of the turn signal going out.

Thank you!

Thanks, The dealer wants $189 to fix hazard switch and I can't see myself taking my dash apart and even taking my radio out. The bypass price went up to $68 but it sounds like a simple fix. It says all you do is remove 4 screws on the steering column, unplug one connection and fit in the bypass box and put the column cover back on and it is fixed in 15 minutes. Sounds easy enough I am going to attempt it.:eek:

Holy tape player:eek::leaving:

Hey now that's my dash. lol

That's how I used to get my Xm radio to work.

I need to find my Bee Gees cassette since I dont use my Xm anymore.

:rock:

Last week I installed the flasher bypass with hopes of fixing the problem. I dont use the car enough to worry about it. Im also getting LED tail lights today to justify the bypass lol. :crazy:

After detailing my, new to me, '02 last night I drove it around the block and my turn signals would not work! After a few trys, my left signal blinked 2 or 3 times and then nothing. I checked my hazards and they work fine :confused: Since I've been around Vettes all of my life I know that they are quirky so I didn't freak out, I just got up this morning and checked the forum and it seems there is a fix :woohoo: I'll try the "cycling hazard switch" fix first to see if it helps. If it does I'll go ahead and do the bypass since I will be driving this car often. Thanks for the write-up guys!

If all the other lights work right then it's likely the turn signal switch.

And when I say all other lights, I mean try all combinations of turn, tail, brake etc and ensure all other lights work as they should except the rear right turn.

I fixed mine at the same time I did my ipod adapter install since the radio had to come out anyway. It took longer to get to the switch than it did to actually change out the switch. Taking off the knee bolster under the steering wheel helped a lot.

Thank You
 

I just changed my switch on my 2000. Your diagram helped immensely.

What is the other product he has in that picture? It has the corvette logo on it. My turn signals are giving me major problems now. Figured the bypass would be better since my hazards still work. Just need to know what exactly I'll need to do it.

The package on the left? That is the pigtail used to plug the flasher in to. You only need a 2-wire type but all he could find at the shop was the 3-wire type so you just use 2 of the 3 wires.

I would suggest getting the better all electronic flasher as described in one of the earlier posts. They will last longer.

Can I purchase all this from Autozone/Orielly? If so what are the exact part numbers?

Order one of these and call it a day :thumbs:

Easy swap

Are you speaking about the wire pigtail? No need to buy if you have 2 wires(about 8 inches long) and put female terminals on them. The only item you need is the $9.00 flasher to connect your 2 wires to it. That's it.

Bob

I bought mine from Autozone. Pretty sure others have it as well. It is the Tridon EL12 electronic flasher. High quality item.

Bob

Reckon I'll buy an EL12 tonight.

I got the EL12 flasher and a similiar plug(pigtail) to that in the picture at autozone and I installed it like mentioned in this thread in about 45 minutes. This thread made it so easy to do. My only problem was I snapped a piece of the sensor clip off when I was tring to unplug it but thats no big deal because it still went back in like it was originally.

Ok so just bought this car on jan 21st. The right rear outer led tail light (not a euro or halo) is having issues. The light works when the running lights are on. It also works when the ignition is on acc but doesnt work at all when the engine is on. No brakes, turn signal, flashers yada yada. So if it was a fuse or short or something along those lines why would the inside passenger tail light work in all instances but the outer doesnt?

Any thoughts? Think I should change the flasher assembly?
