2000 Grand Am - Direction Signal Problem

[JM3401]

I have a 2000 Grand Am. After making a turn, there continues to be a very fast clicking nois from the direction signal. The signal indicators on the dash board are not blinking, nor are the signals on the outside of the car. However the fast clicking sound continues intermitently long after the blinker has switched off.

haha yes its a recall from last year but they dont pay for it anymore
Its more likely your hazard switch located just above the stereo behind the hazard switch/button!

Call a dealer and ask them how much those run.

by the way: i have the same problem and if you want you can wait untill i get my new hazard switch and try it out! it will be 1 week max untill i can tell you results
turn ur music on laud and u'll be fine for 1 week lol

I have just developed the same problem! I tried replacing the turn signal relay attached to the hazard button, but this did not correct the problem. Have you had any luck correcting this problem?

haha its coming in this week so i'll let you know. I called the pontiac service and they said there was teh recall but now its expired and but for my situation the switch should fix the problem but he also explained something else which i dont remember but it had something to do with the relay.

Well mine is all fine but just makes a random ticing so thats the 4 way hazard switch locataded right behind the hazard light button.

i suggest u take it to some pros to check it out if u cant fix it....
I"ll post back again and let u guys know if it fixed it my problem

check out this other thread. This is the exact problem and seems to point to the blinker switch (called multifunction switch) (I think the hazard recall is a seperate problem and it seems folks are confusing the two)

Thanks for your quick reply though!

as you can see its the same problem as the other thread. I dont have anything else to add but suggest to change the hazard switch

I replaced the hazard switch yesterday and it seems to fix the problem.
I hope this helps you and wish you the best! ;-)

I took mine off and cleaned it as suggested in the other post. This corrected the problem for me. It was easy to see what was shorting out when I disassembled the multi-switch. Thanks.
