Check for 12-volts that feeds the fuse panel, especially the connectors that are energized by the ignition switch.

Okay so all of a sudden my 2000 Chevy Impala's blinkers stopped working. All of them. The light for the blinkers doesn't even come on in the dash display and there is no light coming from any of the 4 blinkers. I just replaced the relay for the blinkers which did not solve the issue. I checked the fuse and I was getting a reading so I assume it's not blown. It started where the right blinker stopped working and we replaced the bulb. A week later none of them work. I don't understand why they all of a sudden just decided to stop working. Please help me I can't get to work or use my car!

Try your hazard flashers to see if they work, i'm sending a pic of where the lflasher is as it's part of the hazard switch. Check the ground and see if t/s switch is getting and sending power. You can always use hand signals to drive the car. Although if t/s switch is bad your brake light s may not work either.

The blinkers quit working, after I hit the emergency lights the blinkers start working. That works most of the times but rarely the emergency lights do not work either.

Could also be a body control module causing it. If the flasher doesnt fix it, look there.

My turn signals work for approximately the first 5-10 minutes of driving, then as the car heats up, the turn signals no longer work, unless I move the steering wheel just right to either the left or the right. What are your thoughts?

Would have to say something with the turn signal switch. Possible worn contact issue or loose mounting bolts.

Where your shifter meets your colum there's a little rubber cover. Pull that up and you should see a little pin that that you have to push out. That will let you remover the shift lever and slide the metal surrounding off. Now if you look right below the whole colum by the dash board there's a short piece of metal trim about 5 inches long. Look behind that and remove the two nuts. After that I think there's 2 or 3 screws under the colum and 2 connecting the rest of the colum trim metal to the dash. Just slide that out and you should be able to install your signal switch. Just reverse what you did removing it and you'll have it all back together. Remember to always take note of where everything is. Just to make sure that it's correct again. These cars are built simple so it shouldn't be much of a problem. Try that and get back to me.

I pulled up the little boot cover on the shifter bot the rod I think is missing cause theres a little hole there, first I thought it was for a allen wrench but the wrench went all the way out the other side? Ps thanks for your reply, I appreciate it much.

No problem man, but to be honest if the pin was missing the shift lever would fall out. It's a hollow pin so a small Allen wrench would pass through it. Try taking a Allen wrench the same diameter of the whole you see and lightly tap it with a hammer. There's no way that the pin is missing. The lever truly wouldn't stay on. Get a better look. I have a feeling you're over looking.

Try replacing the bulb socket, mine was heat damaged, it worked when I had it out of the tail lamp holder, then didn't when I put it back in.

Just to be clear, you replaced the socket and installed the bulb. Tested it before you put it in the tail lamp assembly and it worked, then when you put it in, it would not work? If this is the case then the only thing that really makes sense is the light has come loose or your wiring connection has come loose. How did you connect the new socket? Can you get some pictures of what you are dealing with so we can get on the same page? Thanks
