The flasher is located in the center console, on the passenger side, under the dashboard. There are 2 flashers, turn on turn signal and listen for clicking sound.

    Turn Signal Lamps The body control module (BCM) is responsible for controlling the turn signals and hazard lamps. When the turn signal switch is placed in either the left turn or right turn position, the BCM receives a signal from the turn signal switch. The BCM then sends an on-off voltage signal to either the left or right turn signals and their instrument panel cluster (IPC) indicator. When the hazard switch is pressed, the BCM receives a signal from the hazard switch. The BCM then will send an on-off voltage signal to all the turn signal lamps. All the turn signal lamps will flash including both IPC turn signal indicators.

    There are no replaceable flashers ,this function is internal to the BCM !

Agree with those who have answered before. Check your bulbs. At the same time you might check your bulb sockets for corrosion, cracked wires etc. If you live in an area where they use "slurpy" for de-icing this is a common problem. Long haul trucker family member was constantly working on the wiring on the trailer during winter months. And I just found out it did a number on some of the wiring on my canopy.

If the turn signal flashes really fast on the inside of your car in your dash all that means is one of your turn signals are already out now the bulb itself in the back are changed from the trunk pull back the carpet and find your turn signals in the front they are mounted into the head lights if you want to change the signal head itself your going to have to take off your dash panel and open up the plastic steering colon colar

A fast blinking turn signal normally means you have a burnt out bulb in either the front or back. Turn on the turn signal and check that the front and back turn signal lights are working. If one is not blinking, replace the bulb. This should solve your problem. Good Luck.

I have a Chevrolet cobalt and the left turn signal will not work the inside light on dash flashes fast. I have changed the light bulb still doesn't work.

Fast flashing usually indicates that one of the exterior bulbs isn't functioning. You've checked front and rear signal lights, right? If the bulb is good, it could be corrosion in the socket, bad ground, broken wire, etc.

When you say you replaced "flasher" I'm guessing you mean the combination turn signal flasher unit. If the hazards "flash" on the 4 way but the turn signal does not you are looking at a turn signal switch type problem. ... If 4way flashers do NOT work you need to check wiring immediately around the flasher unit mounting area.Or change Flasher unit Good Luck.
