turn signals / hazard switch

[timh1901]

put in a tilt colume. now my turn signals dont work and my hazards are all messed up. when i would turn left or right the lights had a mind of there own. if i lost u already, sorry. well i unpluged the fuse for the turn signals and hazards. found out the hazard switch is always in the up position like they are on. wont stay down. all other lights work fine. but the funny thing is, when i press on the brake pedal, both lights for the turn signal light up on the dash ( not out side ) and stay on till i release the brake. checked all grounds and such. any one have a thought on this. thanks

did you try to swap over the switch from your old non tilt column to see if that solved the problem...if your hazzard switch is busted it will cause all kinds of issues

[timh1901]

i did bring that up with a few others about switching them but they said that they were different. i think i might try it thou.

what year is your truck and what year did the column come out of...

[timh1901]

not sure the yr the tilt came out of. if it helps it has the radio controls on it. my s10 is a 2000

[orangesonoma]

the switches should be the same....does the truck start?

[timh1901]

truck runs normal. all other lights work fine, interior and exterior. just not the turns or hazards. how hard is it to take the colum apart. i did not put it in. but anyway i'll give it a shot and see what happens.

its not that hard but the screws are a small torx and the top of the column cover is a reverse torx..

My hazard switch is broke

I have an ink pin cap shoved down into the hole, with electrical tape holding it in . for now.

I had the exact same stuff happen to me, I replaced the flasher relay behind the glovebox and now it all works fine.

were about is this relay. i looked and found nothing. a pic of were it is would be great.

[capspauld]

If its 98+ itll be behind your glovebox, push the u shaped thing up and drop the glovebox, and then it is the one that has a green strap over it. I am guessing its the same for sonomas. Sorry I dont have a pic, but if you drop the box, you should see it and I think its the one on the right but cant remember.

Edit: Sorry, just saw that you said you have an s10 and it is a 2000, so yeah itll be behind the glovebox and have a green strap on it. I am pretty sure it is the one on the right.

[timh1901]

well it not the flasher relay. so i think i am goin to have to tear apart he colume.

[timh1901]

just too throw this out there. everytime the brake pedal is touched i can hear that flasher relay going bonkers. there is a wire plug attached to the brake pedal. not sure what it does thou.

[orangesonoma]

why would it be the flasher/relay? that was not changed...go with what was changed....the brake lights go through the hazard switch

[PandaS10]

just use needle nose and carefully remove the old hazard switch....then put in the working one from your old column...theres a how to stickied in the electrical forum...
