tonytoca_87 Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 My 1995 vert is sitting because my turn signals and hazards are not working. No sounds no lights flashing nothing. Fuses are good replaced the turn signal flasher and still nothing. Please help this is frustrating. With the beautiful weather here all I can do is stare at my vert.

Heartbeat1991 Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 You likely need to replace the switch itself. It's a common issue. tonytoca_87 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imp558 Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 X2 switch. a really common failure on all cars is bad grounds butt you would have to have bad grounds on everything in order for it not to run any of the lights. along with a steering wheel puller you need a lock ring compressor to change the switch.

Heartbeat1991 Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 They also loan both tools. tonytoca_87 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imp558 Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 that's true. It's one we're going to buy a steering wheel puller it may make more sense to buy a harmonic balancer puller they would be able to do more than just a steering wheel. I have both and I've used both to pull a steering wheel tonytoca_87, Heartbeat1991 and rich_e777 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heartbeat1991 Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 Yeah. I have the balancer puller, but I think I had to get the wheel puller for the GP. As I recall, the bolts weren't long enough to use the balancer puller on it. The puller was too big to fit down in there. Not sure about a CS wheel. Might work. I think 95 has an airbag, as I recall. Make sure you disconnect the battery first just in case. tonytoca_87 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padgett Posted June 18, 2016 Report Share Posted June 18, 2016 Disconnect the battery for at least 10 minutes first. Have heard of a residual charge triggering an air bag. tonytoca_87 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imp558 Posted June 18, 2016 Report Share Posted June 18, 2016 A steering wheel puller will come with hardware, but a balancer puller doesn't Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I5t's a common issue. Thanks for the quick response. I actually took it apart today just because after replacing the flasher and checking fuses and bulbs figured the problem was the switch. I couldn't figure out how to remove the switch from the column. Seems like the plastic cover made it difficult. will check out local salvage yards those switches aren't cheap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AutoZone sells both tools Thanks for the info. I did rent the steering wheel puller from auto zone. Took me a while to figure out how to use it lol. My buddy mentioned a bad ground. I did notice while working on the car the previous owner installed a aftermarket alarm system and whoever installed the alarm did a crappy job. Theres wires everywhere I tried hiding the wires today but that could be where the issue lies. Also there's a aftermarket radio and there's no power going to the radio when I connect the place plate. Sucks because I work 50 hours a week so I don't have much time to work on car as I would like to. Other than this switch issue the car is mechanicaly sound.

Imp558 Posted June 18, 2016 Report Share Posted June 18, 2016 (edited) That thing pulls off and you need the lock ring compressor for what's beneath, and a couple tiny screwdrivers or picks to pull the snapring after you push the ring down. set a few Rags on the dashboard and lay the pieces in order across the dash with the outside facing up and you'll be fine during reassembly EDIT: That airbag wire roller thing will kind of hang there by the wire so be careful.

GabsOlds Posted June 18, 2016 Report Share Posted June 18, 2016 After I removed the airbag and steering wheel Use some duct tape to keep the inner part of the clock spring from unwinding, then pull it out. rich_e777, tonytoca_87 and Imp558 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks bud. I was starring at the Damn thing confused lol. I don't think I'm going to attempt this job just to the simple fact that I don't have the proper tools. I already have the puller but don't have the lock ring compressor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imp558 Posted June 19, 2016 Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 That's not a snap ring, it's like a hog ring. 2 tiny screwdrivers or similar. tonytoca_87 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imp558 Posted June 19, 2016 Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 Last year my turn signal switch went bad so I picked one up on the way home from work. I changed it in my driveway and when I pulled the airbag I saw written in marker that I put one in back in 2011. I took it back to the store and they looked it up and gave me my money back. tonytoca_87 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonytoca_87 Posted June 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2016 Hello everyone. I just wanted to follow up on my topic and say " Thank You" to everyone that helped me with my turn signals and hazard lights issue. I went to advanced auto parts and purchased a new switch and now the turn signals and hazards are working as they should.

GabsOlds Posted June 26, 2016 Report Share Posted June 26, 2016 Glad you fixed it. Thank you for coming back to update the thread with the solution. Moderators, can someone add "-solved" to the title? tonytoca_87 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
