Re: 2002 Grand AM - Turn signal clicker - and dash lights issue - Any Help appreciated!

Issue 1: The switch is dirty. Extremelly common on GA, GM refuse to recall more (yes, some got recalled).
Official fix: replace the 200$ switch assembly. It's the 2 arms on one single unit.

Non-official fix, which work very well: remove the switch, spray some contact cleaner inside where the contacts are. I used some "Electrosolve Contact Cleaner, zero residue" made by MG Chemicals. http://www.mgchemicals.com/products/409b.html

Other brand would work too.

As for your other issue: possibly an abs sensor wire that is about to break... Have the code scanned to know which wheel cause the issue.

edit: beware if you remove the switch: you will see a shiny yellow wire there. Treat it extremelly well, this is the AIRBAG wire! damage it and there is a chance of the airbag that explode in your face.
