The turning signals on my 97 Monte Carlo aren't working. What's wrong and how much will it cost to fix?

Question

I don't think its the mulifunction switch b/c my windshield wipers work and my hazard lights and signals work. Its just that my turning lights and signals dont work.

Ok an update. I had my mechanic check it out and he said the socket that the bulb isn't putting out any power. He says there may be an electrical problem. So now tell me what is wrong and wat's it gonna cost to fix it.

Answer 1

It could be a number of things wrong . loose conection , loose or bad bulb , bad fuse , cut wire , flasher bad or loose ,

first test if the bulbs by turning on the hazerd flashers all four should work as the hazerds are on seperat fuze and power cercuit (key off).
next check that the brake lights work (key off).
next check the turn signals with key on if one side works then it is probably a bulb on the side not working.
if nothing switch the two flashers and check again. if it works then replace the bad flasher.
if still not working check the switch itself for power coming in , if so replace switch.

Answer 2

It could be anything from a blown bulb, bad flasher, or blown fuse up to a faulty multifunction switch. Depending on what the problem is, the cost could be less than $3 for bulb, flasher or fuse up to $150 - $200 for a new multifunction switch.

Answer 3

It has a bad Multifunction switch, it is the switch you grab to turn on the blinkers and the wipers.

Answer 4

check your fuse for turn signals. bulb mite be burned out. 2or 3 dollars if you can check this out.

Answer 5

Probably the flasher unit..... that cost like $5

Answer 6

may be a burned out bulb, flasher or fuse. less then $4.00 if you do it your self
