Are you talking about the turn signal flasher?

My info says behind dash, right of steering column support. None of our manual have picture to show location, but I have attached a piece of the wiring diagram below so you can see what color wires you are looking for

Hi, right side blinker started blinking fast. For a short time it will blink normally but then it will start fast again. Front blinker and side blinker work but blink fast 2. I will sometimes hear a buzz sound when I pull the leaver up 4 right signal. The tail light blinker does not flash when blinking fast. Let me know what u think it may be. Thanks Dan!

Try checking the all the lamps maybe one blew out or is loose, also try checking fuses, I had a truck that did that it was a fuse a big round one for the hazard lights. Hope this helps.

Blinker relay is sensitive to load. It works by current generating heat to activate tripover breaker. When 1 bulb fails to light the load is changed allowing more currant and faster blink. So the problem is that back bulb/ socket/ wiring.

Well I took the taillight bulb out of the socket and it was full of dirt or some type of gooey stuff. All I did was clean the stuff off the bulb and inside where the bulb and socket makes contact and just like that problem solved! Thanks again!

Electrical problem
1998 Chevy Cavalier 4 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic 130XXX miles

My turn signal fuse pops when I put my car into drive. My turn signals work fine and my flashers work fine until I put my car into drive, and I can watch the fuse pop the second it shifts into drive.

Try pulling the brake fuse, just for testing. See if that has an effect on the turn fuse circuit. You could probably use a testlite across the turn fuse terminals, instead of blowing all your fuses. If the lite comes on, the circuit is going to ground, somewhere.

1994 Chevy Cavalier 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic

Hi my turn signals wont work I replaced the flasher checked the fuses and prob going to replace the turn signal switch 2 just try to fin d a solution to this problem

Front left tire side blinker and right back side is out but hazards work

If you step on the brake and turn the switch on/off the back left side blinks but you have to keep moving it to on/off.

There was a white relay under the dash next to the flasher autozone doesn't carry it don't know what it is or what it goes to

Hopefully you changed the correct flasher. The turn signal flasher is on the RIGHT (passenger) side of the steering colum and not in the convience center on the left side. Check all your bulbs as well as grounds as that is usually the problem that they don't work.

HI,
I have a 1994 chevy cavalier. I have no turn signals on the out side and no arrows lights on the inside. I replaced the flasher relay and the turn signal switch on the steering column. All the bulbs and fuses are good. The flasher/warning light work fine. Any help would greatly be appreciated. Jeff

Do the lower brake lites work, work ok? The lower brake lites and turn signals use the same bulb fillament and wiring circuit from the turn signal switch, just not at the same time.

My info shows two flashers, one for the hazzard and the other for the turn signal. Did you check the fuse circuit for the turn signal?

The hazzard flasher may be located in the fuse box. The turn signal flasher should be under the steering column. You may have to remove the lower part of the dash, to get it.

The front passenger turn signal on my 2002 Chevy Cavalier stopped working. I've already replaced the bulb, but it's still out. I suspect an electrical problem since I hit a pot hole the other day and suddenly it worked for a few hours, then stopped again.

At the front turn signal, the dark blue wire is voltage, use a voltage tester on that wire. Black wire is ground. Does the park lite work on that side. Could be problem with multifunction switch or wiring circuit.

I'll have to borrow a voltage tester and give that wire a test. The parking light does work on that side, and the signal is working intermittently. Suddenly started working on the 3 mile drive to my local auto shop, and stopped working on the drive back.

Need to find information on this vehicle, it's significant others, and the turn signals just quit. All the fuses are good the emergency flasher both work, the brake light is only working on the drivers side. The back bulbs appear (both circuits wires) to be fine. Was unable to find the signal flasher pod and also unable to find a simple troubleshooting/wiring diagram so have turned to the forum before going and buying a shop manual or taking it to a shop. Please advise if at all possible. Thanx

Your brake light may be something, replace that bulb and see if the turn signal on that side starts to work. Double check each bulb. Get back to me about what happends
