Turn Signal Switch Problems of Chevrolet Monte Carlo

On-going turn signal failure. Turn signal intermittently functions and almost resulted in rear end collision and/or side impact. Infrequently operation of hazard signal while engaging left or right turn signal mitigated problem, but did not fix. To repair had to replace hazard/turn signal flasher at a cost of $107. From review of Monte Carlo forums this is a known safety hazard that effects Monte Carlos as well as other vehicles that used the hazard/turn signal flasher switch p/n 924-606 and should be remedied by gm through recall/reimbursement.

Turn signals will not always work. Replaced the hazard/signal switch located behind the dash only to have the same problem. Pressing on the dash near the hazard switch or pressing the hazard switch will return signal to normal operation for a short time. While I was replacing the original, I noticed placing a very slight pressure on the switch assembly will cause the signal to either stop or start working. I believe the problem is with both the switch design as well as the dashboard design. Hot/humid weather appears to irritate the situation causing failure more often. Researching the problem via web searches finds many owners with the same problem. This problem also seems to be common to many gm model cars.

I was driving Monte Carlo ss 2000 the other day and smoke started coming out of the steering wheel. I inhaled a mouthful, the throat burned all day. Almost in an accident. The windshield wipers started running and would not shut off, so I removed the fuse. I noticed my headlights no longer worked also. When I got home I opened the dashboard and steering wheel cover , and the burnt smell was coming from the turn signal switch. I opened the switch, and everything inside was melted. I notified general motors right away. They told me to take it to a gm dealer , so I did. But the gm dealer wanted to charge a $100 to diagnose. None of the fuses on the car blew out when the switch started on fire. I found a used switch for $85. 00 so it cost less the dealer to tell me it was bad. It was a faulty switch , and gm told me I could only have a gm dealer fix it. I told them I could not justify or afford paying more for the diagnosis than the used part. Gm told me I could not put a new switch in myself or I won't be reimbursed if there was a recall. This was a very serious safety issue. Gm won't help me out anyway and they didn't really seem to care about this issue. So I either go to the dealer and pay $500 to get it fixed or pay $85 and do myself. They put me in a situation so they didn't have to do anything about this problem. I told them I would send the switch to them, but they didn't want it. Neither could I have another mechanic replace it except for gm. This was rediculous. Someonewas going to get killed if this happened again.

When I turn on the blinkers sometimes they work and sometimes they don't. When they don't no light comes on at all ( no blinker on the dashboard or on the outside lights). On numerous occasions my life flashed before my eyes when I was nearly struck by other vehicles while trying to make a turn and my turn signals weren't operating properly. I went to an auto parts store and they stated that the problem was a common one. They stated that it was the flasher assembly (in the steering column) costs $ 299. 00. I feel this issue should be looked into . I am a police officer and if I didn't have this issue with my own vehicle I wouldn't have believed anyone else's story. Please contact me by phone or e-mail thank you rich.

The turn signal switch has an unnatural tendency to fail on all 95-99 Monte Carlo and 95- 00 lumina's made by Chevrolet this can cause a failure in the electrical system resulting in the failure of the brake lights. The turn signal switch will need to be replaced. This has resulted in the proper operation of the brake lights. Old part not available.

: the contact stated, while having an oil change at an independent service station, the mechanic noticed an odor of something burning in the vicinity of the steering wheel. There was no smoke or fire present. Upon inspection, there was a malfunction of the turn signal dimmer switch on the steering column. The dealer and manufacturer were contacted. There are no recalls in effect.

My turn sigmal flasher doesn't work sometimes. I think it happens more often when the humidity is high. I can sometimes correct it by depressing the emergency flasher button. This is dangerous!!!.

My 1999 Chevrolet monty carlo z34 has prooblem with the blinkers. There should be no reason why I should have to hold down the blinker lever partially to make the blinkers work. This is a safety issue that should be taken care of by the manufacturer. A dealership said that they get a lot of these switches and I refused to pay 4-5 hundred dollars for a blinker switch which is a safety issue.

Turn signal switch that includes head lights. You flick you high beams on and when you try and switch to low your head lights go out. You much flick your turn signal repeatedly to get them back on. In the mean time you are swerving all over the road in a panic. How often does it happen almost every day.
