Signal flasher keeps clicking
I have a 2000 Chevy Blazer LT 4.3 liter 4 speed auto with power everything and it has a trailer hitch with a universal plug, the problem is the signal combination flasher keeps clicking when the signal switch returns to the neutral position or when you turn on/off the 4 ways. You can hear it clicking and there are no lights flashing anywhere. Sometimes it flashes continually, other times it will click a few times and stop. When you use the flasher it will click for almost a minute…stop and then click sporadically. As soon as you apply the breaks it will stop and remain that way until you take your foot off the break pedal. I have replaced the signal relay and checked all of the connections and everything is ok. All of the fuses are good and everything is working fine no glitches. Is this a common problem?

Re: Signal flasher keeps clicking

Re: Signal flasher keeps clicking
I've had the same problem on my 98 LT for years now...tried a new flasher relay, tested the brake switch all to no avail. Over time I've noticed it happen more consistently when the air humidity increases.
I rember reading on this forum that this is a know issue with the multi-function signal switch...apparently grease eventually drips down into the column and causes a low voltage short that triggers the relay but not the lamps. Solution was if i recall to replace or clean the multi-function switch at the base...requires removing it from the steering column..doesn't bother me enough to go to all that work. |

Re: Signal flasher keeps clicking
If this is such a known issue, then you would think that the local parts supply store would know how to fix it or at least the dealership would know...LOL. There is not even a heavy duty relay that I can buy, to try and see if that will solve the problem.
