Default Help with Strange Blinker sound...

THought I was hearing things today (which is nothing new), but I would use my turn signal and after it cancelled out (auto or manually) the relay would keep clicking but not the bulbs.

Did not matter which direction and does on consistently now. It clicks at a faster rate then the normal rate. Any ideas?

Default Location and replacement

I take it, the relay is behind the hazard panel? Is it an easy fix?

Yes, & easy DIY. Search here or on C5 for hazard relay. About $30 if no warranty.

Default More likely the turn signal stalk than the relay.

If it malfunctions when you're trying to signal, it's the relay. If it malfunctions when you're trying not to signal, it's the stalk. You're better off if it's the relay, though.

Default Thanks will try...

relay this weekend and then stalk if that doesn't work. And just perfect timing, CPO warranty just bit the dust 600 miles ago.

The strange thing is blinking randomly when off. It clicks but no bulbs or indicator lights actually come on. More annoying then anything. Am thinking it is the stolk but will post after I swap the relay this weekend (if I can find one local)

That was the same gremlin I had...but if I put the flashers on, everything worked right.
