Thanks! The mechanic wanted to charge me $400 to fix this, but I found the part I needed for about $20 and did it myself. I couldn't have done it without this video
Thank you so much. It wasn't until I found your video I was able to locate this relay. I was told everywhere else. So happy to have turn signals once more! God Bless you!
I've been trying to find a video like this for my 04 Pontiac Sunfire because my turn signals have been doing the same thing but i could not find anything and finally I came across this!! thank you!! I just disconnected the old relay and am about to go pick up a new one!
Thank you so much for posting! I was debating replacing the actual turn signal assembly. You were right, only the relay needed replacing. Simple instructions and straight forward. Got the part from the store and replaced in under 10 minutes!
thank you for this direct video. Saved me a trip to the mechanic and about 55 bucks plus labor. my rely went bad on my 2000 cavalier last friday on the way to work. I am no contortionist, so I had to take out teh driver side seat to get to it. unfortunately. my relay was on pegs, not a rail like yours.
Glad this video helped you! It is quite a pain to get up in there with your head in a position that you can actually see the parts and how they are connected.
Thank you brother. I went to o'reilly after watching this video and fixed it and I'm not mechanically inclined at all. I can however contort my body well so I fixed it in 20 minutes. Thanks
I wished I watched your video first before I bought the turn signal switch . Yes my 98 Cavalier problem was just the relay. Thanks for the video!!!!!!!!
Hi, I checked them and their good, it’s the relay that needs to be replaced. I’m going to have fun getting this car back up to looking and running good! I’m sure to keep using your advise thanks
Thanks for your comment. I have the same car and same issue. Now the fast blinker is dead and makes a grinding noise but with your comment, I think it's simply the relat
@@gavincomiskey I got EP27 Flasher at Autozone (Bohemia LI NY for $17) It was a little different but the one I replaced was not the original. The EP27 has been working almost 3 wks now without problems.
@@weshyatt3113 Awesome! Thank you, I went to buy one and the parts guy said there are 4 & 5 pin relays and I was procrastinating removing it to see which one I needed.
Glorious. Part was 48 dollars at Napa but I think a website new I was looking for the part because on a warehouse homepage I was looking for the same part you use in this video and they offered the part for 60 percent off, 17 dollars. Amazon didn't even have the part for under 40.
How many miles on the car, Thank you for the video. My 2005 LS Sport , 169500 miles just started with the issue, 1st I had to change the original light bulbs in the rear of the car, now this week, I have same issues, will blink for 6 x. then not turn back on. Thanks for the video.
I have the opposite issue. When it's relatively warm my right blinker and breaklight work, and then when it gets cold they won't until my car has heated up for 20 minutes
The turn signals also stuck. I changed the relay, now it doesn’t work at all.😟😟 They don’t even turn on. I’ll look for the problem Few moment later: everything was very simple, while I was installing a new relay my fuse blew. 20A stop HAZ. be careful)) I hope my comment will be a great addition to a wonderful video
Didn't know anybody else in the world was still fixing/babying these cars.... It's so hard to find videos anymore. I'm constantly playing with my 2001 Cavalier 2.4L There's a lot to still be learned and experienced. This car IS going to last for infinity miles.... With help from y'all, it will definitely save me some time, frustration, and a plethora of cuss words!😆 On another random note: Reach out if you have issues with water in the trunk... I have recently become a professional in this category.... 🤦🏼
mine does it sometimes, but I thought it was atmospherics. it only does it when it's humid and rainy consistently. one way to trick the system back to normal is to use the Hazards while having a blinker on. it happens rarely but that's how I fix mine.
Does the mechanics of the turn signal assembly seem smooth? Or does it have 'issues' like clicking or crunching through its motion when you try and use the turn signal? I believe they both use the same relay (as I did not see another relay up in that area that would have been a separate one for hazards). So, in your case, the turn signal assembly would be suspect. You could try replacing the relay first, since they are cheaper than the entire assembly.
@@darrendexter6125 The blinkers seem to have revived themselves for a minute but they are deff at the stage of one blink and then nothing. The assembly feels the same as always. Just one blink and nothing. The hazards light up like a xmas tree. Must be the assembly based on your video and comments. Thank you. Off to the garage I go.
Good video,now I now that the problem is the relay, but you know what? Mine is different, It has 5 pins instead of 4 like yours And I just can't find It, I've asked for It in several places and no luck at all
Funny thing is I have the same car and i can't get it out. Not even with a screwdriver. There's definitely a large metal cylinder thing bolted on that in the way of that lever. So it's not removable. My car has the exact same issue.
Replacing the relay is the cheaper option to try. It may be that your relay has failed in a different way than mine did. Mine was just getting weaker......yours might have failed and is stuck in the ON position.
Thanks! The mechanic wanted to charge me $400 to fix this, but I found the part I needed for about $20 and did it myself. I couldn't have done it without this video
Showing WHERE it is located, HOW to get to it, was the piece missing from so many threads. Thanks a billion for the help!!
You bet man!
Thank you so much. It wasn't until I found your video I was able to locate this relay. I was told everywhere else. So happy to have turn signals once more! God Bless you!
Darren, you da best! My daughter has a 2005 Cav with the same issues. And YOU fixed them!

Just want to say thank you for the video. Just got my blinkers working again. Would buy you a burger if I could.
Thank you!! I’m getting a 1999 Cavalier going and the blinkers blink a mile a minute lol this should fix it, but hope
Typically a faster than normal blinker speed happens because you have a bulb that has burnt out, so I would recommend checking them too. Good Luck!

Glad this video is still helping people
Thanks a bunch for this. Fixed quickly. :D

Thank you for doing this video. Very helpful
Hey man! Your video really helped me! Was curious if by chance once replace you would have an idea on why they would stay solid lit after?
Saved me so .much money thank you
Glad it help you man.

230k ish miles on it

@@darrendexter6125 would you happen to know,lol,, where the heckle and jeckle is the horn relay located?!?!?! Thanks much~!~ Sonny.
Curious is the brights relay located in the same spot

Thank u for share.. I'll check fuse tomorrow's...
Thanks. Very useful. I have same problem with turn signal.
Glad it helped you out!
Thanks man 👍👍👍
Awesome thanks, worked to a tee
YOU ARE SO AWESOME THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
Thank you for doing this!
Did the hazards still work before you placed the relay switch
I am not sure, I don't recall testing them specifically back when I did this fix. Pretty sure hazards and turn signals use the same relay.
Didn't know anybody else in the world was still fixing/babying these cars.... It's so hard to find videos anymore.
I'm constantly playing with my 2001 Cavalier 2.4L
There's a lot to still be learned and experienced.

On another random note:

is there an additional locking mechanism on the relay/connector? Mine are wedged together and i have no idea how to get them off
Muchas gracias me ahorre mucho dinero 👍
This worked perfectly thank I sir!
Thanks man, really helped.
Did you by any chance make a video on replacing the blinker assembly? Like you mentioned in the video you did for your daughter's car. Thank you.
No, sorry, I did not.
@@darrendexter6125 No worries. Thank you for responding.
mine does it sometimes, but I thought it was atmospherics. it only does it when it's humid and rainy consistently. one way to trick the system back to normal is to use the Hazards while having a blinker on. it happens rarely but that's how I fix mine.
Yep, thank you for this. I think mine is blown too. Installed led blinkers without resistors.
Thank you, now I can fix it on my own.
Thank you this helped out.
If your hazards come on but the blinkers are dead, would it still be the relay or maybe the switch in the column?
Does the mechanics of the turn signal assembly seem smooth? Or does it have 'issues' like clicking or crunching through its motion when you try and use the turn signal? I believe they both use the same relay (as I did not see another relay up in that area that would have been a separate one for hazards). So, in your case, the turn signal assembly would be suspect.

Autozone has them listed as the same relay - www.autozone.com/electrical-and-lighting/turn-signal-hazard-warning-flasher/chevrolet/cavalier/2003

My Chevy 2005 is blinking the driver side so fast and the passenger side normal. You think can be the relay.
Check the driver side bulb first
@@darrendexter6125 I will thank you.
Was it the bulb? Mine is doing the same
You sabedor me time and money thank you and God bless
I tried this but it didn’t work what else could it be
I have a 05 Pontiac Sunfire is the relay located in the same area
Yes it is still a "J" body car.
I changed the flasher and the blinkers still dont work
Funny thing is I have the same car and i can't get it out. Not even with a screwdriver. There's definitely a large metal cylinder thing bolted on that in the way of that lever. So it's not removable. My car has the exact same issue.

My 2004 Chevy Cavalier turning signal standing still and hazard light don’t work
Replacing the relay is the cheaper option to try. It may be that your relay has failed in a different way than mine did. Mine was just getting weaker......yours might have failed and is stuck in the ON position.
Thanks
But the relay is good. But the issue is the same. I wiggle the connector and the relay and it works fine. Could be just had wiring.
Are sunfire the same
They are very similar. I believe my Haynes manual covers both. However, I cannot say with certainty that the Sunfire uses the same relay.
SO YOU CHANGED THE SWITCH BEFORE THE RELAY LOL .
Oh my gawd. I tried and tried. I can't get it offfff
1:06 Really? You would I think it would be on the passenger side.
Bro I hope you can't fix yours you smart ass
My only question is how did you get the cover off without breaking everything???
Thank you so much
Thanks!!!
