Where is the signal flasher on a 2002 Olds alero

Check the fuse for the directional signals and replace if blown Also try replacing the directional signal flasher. This is different from the one that controls the emergency flashers. Consult your owners manual for the location. U

My guess is the ignition needs to be replaced. check to see if theres a recall for it. 2 years ago on my 2002 alero I found a recall for the flasher switch which was causing intermediate directionals and 2 more for the computer

A defective electronic flasher relay will cause this problem. GM has a problem with these, please read on.

the hazzard and turn signal are all in one unit on the dash. 2004 olds, alero. to repair replace unit on dash.

Its located behind the hazard button to the right of the speedo cluster. If you have a clicking noise as if your turn signal was on or hazard buttons pressed. Its not your flasher problem. I had to tear apart half the dash and found out that was not problem. Its the turn signal/ wiper switch located on top the steering column.

Hope helps.

The switch itself is bad,just replace it to repair the problem.

if you are looking for the flasher/turn signal relay it located on the back of the hazard button in the middle of the dash

The flasher module is failing. Very common

hi the signal flasher is the hazzard switch on the dash

i have a 2000 and you gotta replace the hazard light switch due to the company used cheap products and it shorts out your signal lights...usually costs around 200
