How do I stop the blinker noise from sounding even when the blinker is off?

I have a 2000 chevy blazer and the blinker sound is always on! Its making me crazy!!! I'm hoping its something simple, the truck runs great so I don't think its worth taking it to a mechanic who will charge me $200 to flick a switch or twist a knob. Please, someone help before I go insane!!



By the way, I've already tried changing the fuse, no dice.How do I stop the blinker noise from sounding even when the blinker is off?The turn signal flasher and hazard flasher on that truck are one and the same. It does not look like the standard two pronged round flasher used on many cars, it is actually a rectangular relay located under the dash on the passenger side. Just flip on the turn signal and follow your ears.



If the flasher is clicking with the turn signals and hazard flashers turned off, the problem is very likely the Multifunction Switch. This is an assembly, bolted to the instrument column, and includes the turn signal switch, hazard switch, high/low switch, and the wiper switch. It is a common failure part, I've replaced a lot of them, many under warranty. There was a recall on them. The labor time to change it is 1.4hours, GM part # is 26100838 for a tilt wheel, costs $432.92. It's 26100837 for a non tilt, costs $195.02. You can probably get an aftermarket one for about $65. You'll need some small Torx and inverted Torx tools to do the job. With the right tools, you don't have to remove the steering wheel to replace it. There is a Torx bolt on the bottom left side that backs out in to the steering wheel. But if you have a short enough driver bit, you can get it.How do I stop the blinker noise from sounding even when the blinker is off?Check your doors, it often is the same warning...How do I stop the blinker noise from sounding even when the blinker is off?First, check the electrical switches on the doors. If they are good then look for broken (or shorted) wires on the same circuit.



Also check your emergency blinkers switch. Sometime if this is %26quot;ON%26quot; it makes the blinker sound, but usually it will indicate this by also flashing both of the turn signals.



If you do not have a circuit tester, go buy a cheap tester at Radio Shack. These can be invaluable in hunting and finding electrical gnomes in the car and in the house.

How do you turn the pilot light back on a gas dryer?

I moved my dryer to check the air vent, and when I moved it back the pilot light went out. It won't come back on, and I even changed the fuse. Any suggestions?How do you turn the pilot light back on a gas dryer?Never heard of a gas dryer having a pilot light. In fact they use a kind of spark plug to ignite the gas, similar to how you ignite the LP on a gas cooker.



If you disconnected the gas, the line may have a lot of air in it and may take a while before it bleeds out and ignites properly.How do you turn the pilot light back on a gas dryer?Call the Gas company ASAP! You may have pulled the line. Push the botton for a gas leak just to be safe@How do you turn the pilot light back on a gas dryer?If your gas dryer has a pilot it has to be at least 40 years old. If it is that old, there is a reset valve in the burner compartment where the pilot is. It is not an easy task and I would suggest you call a professional such as your local utility if they offer that kind of service. If it is not that old then chances are you have a burned out ignitor. This is an electrical component that heats up to open the gas valve and ignite the gas. It too is an easy fix for the knowledgeable handyman but I would not suggest a novice do the job. There is direct line voltage connecting to the ignitor and you could suffer a bad shock or worse. Call the pros, it will be worth it.How do you turn the pilot light back on a gas dryer?Call the gas company.

Changing dash lights on a 1998 Chevy Malibu?

I have a '98 Chevy Malibu that I inheired from my Grandma. The dash lights have never worked. All the warning lights work as well as the backlight on the tripometer. However, the lights that illumate the dash so that you can see your speed, rpm, fuel level, etc., don't work. I've changed the fuse at least three times, but think it might be the light bulbs themselves. The manual doesn't show me how to fix it, just tells me to change the fuse. What should I do?Changing dash lights on a 1998 Chevy Malibu?Most cars nowadays, have the ability to be able to pull the trim off around the gauges, and then you should be able to remove the gauge assembly itself. When pulling it out, be cautious of wires in the back, try to disconnect them, and your gauges should be free to take away. Then, on the back side is a set of thumb tabs, with the bulbs inside. Twist them, usually counterclockwise about a quarter turn, and pull. The bulb is held into the tab. pull the bulb, and get your replacements, or check them to see if they are bad. Then reverse procedure when you have found them, and replaced them. Good luck.Changing dash lights on a 1998 Chevy Malibu?Did you check the dashlight switch on the dash. Its the switch you vary the intensity of the dash lights with. If you turn it all the way up the interior light come on.

Fuse or cigarette lighter?

So I was having a problem with my cigarette lighter. So, I changed the fuse, and it worked again. Thing is, it will only work one time. Once I unplugged something, the fuse blows. This has happened several times, and I檝e put a new fuse in each time. This leads me to believe the problem is my cigarette lighter, not my fuse. If this is the case, how can I fix this and if I can檛 do it myself, how much would it cost to get it done at a shop?Fuse or cigarette lighter?Take a cig lighter out of a friends car and put it in yours, if it pops the fuse then you know it's something else. If it doesnt then go to a parts house and buy a new one, they are very cheap.Fuse or cigarette lighter?They are a big coil spring that causes resistance from being shorted out and heat up. When they get old the spring warps and shorts out on itself. This increased the load on your electrical system and blows the fuse.



Basically get a new lighter.

How Do I change the blinker fuse on my 2001 camaro?

Hi all!



My left blinker isn't blinking anymore, and the right one just stays on.



I gave it a boot once and it started to work fine for a few weeks but has screwed up again.



I tend to believe its the fuse - but have no idea how to change it or what part I'd get.



Could anyone tell me where its located and how to get at it?



Ive got an 2001 Camaro RS V6



I should probably change the bulbs at some point but they work fine I think that they fuse just might be partially fried and thats why it wont work properly.



THANKS!



TimHow Do I change the blinker fuse on my 2001 camaro?my advice... start with the bulbs. If the fuse was blown, the lights wouldn't work at all...How Do I change the blinker fuse on my 2001 camaro?i would check the bulb first but your fuse box should be located on the drivers side somewhere under the dash and steering column.. you'll probably have to get down and kneel and stick your head under to see it. Look for the particular fuse [they should be labeled] and just pop it out, bring it to an auto store and ask for a replacement and just pop it back in. its really simple to change a fuse but i would double check the bulbs too.How Do I change the blinker fuse on my 2001 camaro?you need to turn on the four ways to walk around the car and see what bulbs ARE working(front and rear) change bulbs that are bad (if any) it might be the turn signal flasher.it's usually just below steering column,behind that panel. worst case senario would be the hazard/turn signal switch,under steering wheel,in the column. e-mail me again if you need. doug
