2001 chevy silverado horn and front turn signal failure

I have intermittent problems with my turn signals and horn. The horn will honk once, but if you press it more than once it sounds muted. Also the turn signal indicates as if it has a blown bulb (quickly flashing dash lights) but all my bulbs are still good and only the front lights don't work, the rear still works fine. These two problems are completely intermittent so I'm assuming a faulty ground to possibly be the issue. I have already tried replacing the horn and turn signal bulbs, and I tested the turn signal relay and it's fine. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

SOURCE: No rear brake light / turn signals on 2001 Chevy Cavalier

The problem is the turn signal/headlight/hazard switch assembly on the steering column which the brake light wiring runs through. The part is easy to change and cost about $50 at most parts stores

SOURCE: I have a 2002 Chevy S-10. The right rear turn

You probably have a burned or melted bulb socket connector where the bulb actually plugs into the socket and it is preventing the bulb from making contact with the socket connector. Look into the socket and see if you can see the connector recessed or plastic around the connector area higher than the connector. Scrape it away, if so, or carefully bend the connector away from the backing so it will contact the bulb when reinserted. If nothing else, replace the socket.

2004 Chevy Silverado Extended cab. Why did my blinkers / hazards, interior lights, instrument cluster lights and driver window stop working?

These vehicles were known for faulty hazard switches. They would cause an intermittent turn signal flash when you hadn't activated turn signals or they would prevent the turn signals from working at all. Operate the hazard switch and see if the turn signals work again. If so, replace the hazard switch

Right turn signal will not continue to tick.

Check your bulbs. Almost always your description means a bulb is burned out. Check for good grounds.

I replaced the turn signal switch on my 93 chevy s10 and when i went to put it all back together, i broke the horn contact ring putting on the steering wheel. When I reconnected the battery, the horn...

the little contact could have bent and is sitting on the ring, you may have to bend it so it only makes contact when you push on the horn pad. things should fit easily if the force it things can get bent out of their original shape and cause issues.

2001 Malibu - turn signal & horn problems

Google Service Bulletin No. 04098A. There is a recall for the hazard switch. My car's vin is not within the range, but I have the blinker problem. I was told by the Chev. 800 number that if a dealer determines that is the problem they will replace it. You can also buy the switch for about $20 and replace it yourself if you don't want to have to deal with a service dept.

Where is the horn located under the hood of my 2008 chevy truck?

Have a friend, (or in-law) someone you're not too fond of, stand in front of the truck while you honk the horn and have them pinpoint it for you.
