clueless question
I feel stupid asking this question because it is totally ignorant, but I guess I won't have to ask it again if I find the answer. How do I know what kind of fuse to use to replace one in my 2000 Camaro? I know it is a blade type and 20 amp, but what does the "ATC" or "FT" mean? Which one do I pick? Thanks for your time.

Re: clueless question
Well, I dont think ive ever heard of an FT type blade fuse.. You should need an ATC 20amp mini-blade fuse..

Re: clueless question
Thanks, your right. I meant the difference btwn MAXI,ATC,&ATM but was typing off the top of my head instead of looking at the package and still don't know what they stand for. BUT!!!, the problem wasn't even the fuse! My turn signal is not flashing correctly, but it's not indicating that a bulb is out. It's flashing erratically and out of time. So, basically NOT WORKING. Do you have any ideas that might help? Thanks for the reply!

Re: clueless question
could be two things, the flasher its self is having trouble, or the multifunction switch inside the steering coulumn.

How do I get to the flasher? Is it in a fuse box? or under the hood? I want to fix the problem, but I don't really know who to ask. I can't pay a diagnostic fee for a signal problem...I'll never be able to save enough $ to upgrade things if I can't learn to do the small things myself. Ugh! Frustration! Thanks so much for your help :-)

Re: clueless question
Is it flashing eratically both directions? or just right, or left? What about your hazards?

Re: clueless question
If i remember correctly, if you take off the panel under the steering wheel (right above your shins) there should be a flasher on either side of the steering wheel???
Hope that helps

Re: clueless question

OK, so I found it, and changed it, and now it works fine! It was easier than a fog light. Thanks for your help everyone.
