I bought a 2004 Alero about 4 months ago. Overall, it is in pretty good condition. However, like any used car, it has it's flaws. First of all, the blinkers, flashers don't work all of the time. The flashers will not come on unless I fiddle with the button and even then they will only stay one for a second while the button is in a certain spot. The blinkers will work sometimes, but when they don't I can fiddle with the flasher button to get them to work. I did not have this problem when I bought the car. The blinkers were working fine and the flashers were definitely working. However, right after I bought my car, I had to take it in to have the cruise control switch replaced because the cruise control wasn't working. Shortly afterward is when I started noticing problems with the blinkers and just happened to push the flasher button one night to discover that it wasn't working. Could something have happened to the car at the shop to make the flashers and blinkers quit working properly?
