Try locating and replacing the flasher. On the older models it was under the dash. On yours it's probably in the fuse box, which is probably behind a panel on the left side of the dash. Lid is held on with Velcro. Flasher will be marked as such, will be big and silver as opposed to color coded as the rest of the fuses. It's a cheap and easy first try. The other thing could be the Neopreme switch attached to your turn signal stalk. Could have the detents broken off of it. Go with the flasher first, and good luck!

    As I'm driving right now I heard it again and I felt the hazard switch that's on my dash and when it clicks I can feel the vibration in the hazard switch. Any further information on this?

SOURCE: 1999 alero the front end makes noise like the wheel bearing or

if its clicking when you turn the wheal, then its a cv joint. If its making a bump bump bump noise as you go down the road and increases with speed and slows with speed then its probably a bering, It sounds like you have hit something and caused your ball joints to damage. take a board 2x4 about 2 foot long. jack up the car in the front, just enough to fit the board under the tires. At each tire lift the board and see if you have any movement in the wheal. The movement you are looking for will be up and down, not side to side. Your steering moves side to side. Your ball joints give you limited up and down rotation movement to allow your car to handle bumps. If its in access of an inch rotation then there is your problem. Depending on the car, I would probably look at salvage yards first then go to the part store and compare prices. Because some junk yards are chaging near new prices for used stuff. Also your struts may be shot also.

SOURCE: 2003 Chevy Malibu. While driving

Kemo68 90% of the time when the turn signal keeps clicking as your driving down the road. Turn signal and hazard switch if located in the dash. The hazard switch & turn signal are on that switch together in dash. $18.00 for switch and dealer will tell you this is a comom thing that happens in the Malibu. That fixed mine the first time.

SOURCE: Squeek noise on front wheels when hit bump

The problem could be caused by a wheel bearing squeeling or the cv joint squeeling.

SOURCE: turn signal keep clicking randomly 03 malibu

To diagnose: Does the clicking resume to normal when the turn signal or hazrds on? Then:
Multi function switch is damaged.(seems to be common) This unit consists of the two control arms(turn signals and wiper control) on either side of the steering column. It is easily replaced. Cost, app. 200 from GM or 160 aftermarket. GM product is TRW assembled in Mexico. Aftermarket is made in Taiwan. Firstly:

Disconnect battery.

There are 3 #20 Torx screws under the steering column shroud. Remove them and carefully separate shroud and remove. It takes a bit to worm the shroud around the column tilt lever. I didn't check but you may not even have to remove the lower section.

There is 1 #20 torx screw on top holding the MFS in place. It also has 2 guide pins on the bottom. Remove the screw and disconnect the 3 electrical pin connectors. Now remove and replace with new unit. I did notice the steel pin that operates the horn(it pushes in and out and sits against a rotating plate in front of the steering wheel) was a bit rough so I smoothed it out with a small file. Now put everything back in place.

Anyway, that should take care of the clicking. It worked for me.

I have a 2001 PT Cruiser I have replaced my cam sensor and my crank location positioning sensor the come to find out that it was a broken wire on my crank sensor pigtail Yahoo runs but only for about 2...

I know it's a long shot, unplug your 02 sensors, see if it helps? You see, your asd relay sends voltage to several systems, primary voltage to the coil--fuel injectors-- 02 heater circuit and whatever else. I have heard of 02 heater circuit shorting and stealing voltage from other components.
Any applicable trouble codes? Could be other issues? As far as the cam and crank sensors, I usually want to check wiring circuits before replacing anything. With three wire connector, that is ref voltage--ground--signal. Sometimes ref voltage and ground are shared by other systems.

Turn signal will not return to neutral after a turn, keeps blinking.

I had a Ford Freestar do the same thing. If it keeps blinking and the the lever does not come back to neutral then it is the multi-function switch. There is a little piece that is inside made of plastic that catches on the steering wheels internals that shuts it off when the wheel is turned the opposite direction. Sounds like yours is broken and that means a new multi-function switch. you cant repair the switch, you have to replace it unfortunately. if this is your problem I can almost guarantee its result of holding the switch through turning, it makes a clicking noise and you can feel the lever jumping.
hope this helps.

I have 2004 malibu classic my problem is the turn signal is keeps on clicking and clicking

Most of the time the problem is the 4 way flasher switch located in the dash, the signal flasher is part of this switch so replacing the 4 way flasher switch solves the problem.

2007 chevy malibu turn signal arm needs to be adjusted.

Probably a flaw with the original design. That's why it didn't last very long. Get the mounting bracket and order the switch online.

Intermittent turn signal problem 2005 malibu

Check that the fuse for the turn signal is not loose. Sometime a firm push inside is needed. If that doesn't work replace the fuse. If it is still loose then take a narrow pice of wire and insert it in with the fuse to keep if from being loose.

The problem could also be at your turn signal stalk. Turn of the turn signal and then move the turn signal stalk in different directions and hold it. You are trying to see where the intermittent problem goes away. If it doesn't , then the stalk is fine.

Can you bleed the air from the power steering system on a 99 malibu? The unit was making a lot of noise so I changed it with one I pulled at a junkyard. After starting the car and turning the steering...

yes you can, make sure fluid in power steering is full. jack up car and move steering from left to right, til it hits wheel stops. keep checking fluid level. when bleeding air from system, raise idle to about 1500 rpms. then turn wheel left to right. after done recheck fluid level.

2003 Chevy Malibu. While driving down the road turn signal keeps clicking randomly.

what this means that either you have a short in the wire harness going to the turnsignal/dimmer switch assembly . or the switch contacts inside the dimmer switch itself are shorting. this would be a good place to check for the intermitant problem
