The relay is located on the passenger side, on the side of the dash under a cover that pops off. Is the relay bad or is something else causing it to trip over and over again? It quickly turns on all of the lights for a split second each time.. interior lights and headlights. It drains the battery if i don't start the car within 3 days or so. Also, i noticed that the headlights don't automatically turn on when this problem started, I have to turn them on manually to keep them on now. Any feedback is helpful, thanks.
While it sounds like a short somewhere in the wiring It would not hurt to switch out the breaker. If that does not help then it's fault isolation. You will need to check each connection. Try grounding the black lead from your meter, then poke around checking if you see a connection.
It's not uncommon for wires to short were they come into friction with some metal part. Then you need to check all the "hot" connections. With everything turned off see if something remains powered up. "Leaks" happen for a hundred different reasons, The part may be bad, or the power connection might have a short.
Remove and check all the relays also. Not uncommon for a relay to short internally. Fault isolation ranks right up there as one of the most frustrating jobs, so good luck!!!
SOURCE: headlights flicker all the time
Hi, my name is ricky and im 24 yrs old and from Bronx, N.Y . I bought my 03 impala in 04 and i had the same problem in 2007 in which that clicking noise happens. The headlights flicker, and even the gauges inside the car would flicker at times. It has nothing to do with fuses or a relay, please dont spend money on that b.s. like i did..lol I will try my best to explain what i did so that you can save some money and time. READ EVERYTHING AND USE ADVICE AT YOUR OWN RISK.
1st of all - I went to a junk yard/auto salvage yard to find a USED part that i needed. Often there are good parts from cars that have been totalled.
2nd- What i asked for was a Body Control Module. This controls most of the electric issues you are having and costed me about 50 dollars compared to a new one that was over $200 and reached up to $500.
3rd- I went head first under the steering column and found where the BCM was located. Poke around to find it cause it is def. there, hidden well. It doesnt take special skill to remove it or find it.
4th-Replace the BCM, but be advised that after you do this, your car might not crank over.My car did crank over because i installed a automatic starter previously so i could have started it with the remote start.
5th- you MUST take the car to a chevy shop so they can Program your car to the body control module this costed me about $250.
All together this information has to help you in someway.
If you have further questions or would like to make a comment, then e-mail me at " [email protected] "
I hope this helps...im not saying it is a 100 percent guarantee for you, but i had this same problem recently and this was the answer to my problem. By the way, never buy a american car again or a GM product for that matter...Kudos

if you really have a carburetor as you say, you have a mechanical fuel pump so you will not have a fuel pump relay. if you have fuel injection then you do have a fuel pump relay, need to know which engine it is to help more.

Corvettes have a gear box on that motor. It has plastic gears in it. You probably have a gear stripped in that gear box, that lets the motor spin free. You can get repair parts to repair it, or replace the whole motor and gear box. Its an easy fix if your handy. Read all the instructions before you start.
