Shop Buick Turn Signals

I have a weird problem with the right turn signal on my 2004 Buick LeSabre! Some times it works and other times it does not work.
A week or so ago, it started doing this and it has steadily gotten worse. Now it will work once in a while if I can hold the lever in a certain spot.
Lights and flasher are all good and all the turn signal lights flash if I put the emergency switch on. Left turn signal works fine.
Hoping this isn't something that means steering wheel needs removed to fix!
Any help would surly be appreciated.

No, you don't have to remove the steering wheel, but you will need to remove the column covers. You will also need to disable the SIR system. You should get service information if you plan on doing this yourself.

1994 Buick Regal
The turn signals and brake lights won't work. The brake light in the back window does work though. I checked the fuses and bulbs, but they all are good.

My guess...

Faulty turn signal switch.

Are the hazard warning lamps inoperative too?.

I have a 1994 Buick Regal 2 dr. with a 3.? V-6 engine. It has 130,000 miles. Yesterday the ABS light came on, the cruise quit working along with the turn signals and brake lights. I visually checked EVERY fuse in the 2 boxes under the hood and in the glove box. Wondering if anyone has had similar probs with their Regal? I found a connector coming off a harness right under the wiper motor that isn't connected to anything. I've looked anywhere it can reach and can't find a place for it? Any help will be appreciated. This is important transportation.

You can start out by having the ABS code read and the code may lead you right to the problem.

Test light fuses not by looks. Common where am, brake dust or rust sill confuse all that junk. Blow it out might fix some things. Rust is magnetic and will stick to those sensors rendering them brain dead! -- T

How do you get the ABS codes. I have a GM plug-in code reader. I'll blow out all the fuse holders and check each one with my multi- meter set on ohms. Should tell me if there is continuity in the fuse. Thanks for the info. If I still have a prob after I test ill get back.

Free to check the magnets at the wheels. Blow those out with strong compressed air. If they send wrong info they will default to no action.

Rule that out. Then if needed and might you will need a good code reading probably a dealer or busy independent shop for some more help. Again - rule out dumb stuff first and free to do so ........ T

Ok...I bought my 16 yr old son a 1999 Buick Century (yep...he's real proud to drive a white 4 door "granny car"!!) and have been having problems with the right rear turn signal and the right front turn signal. Initally just the right rear signal bulb was blown..then it blew again...along with the front. Replacing both did not help. Now the front right turn signal will blink very very slowly (almost not a discernable blink) and the rear blinks really quickly. We've tried replacing the bulbs again but still they do not function properly. We've been told that there may be a problem with the right side ground...but can't figure out where that is so if anyone can advise it'd be appreciated!

Also wondering about relays and if this could be the problem...if so where are they located...we've been unable to find them either.
Thanks!!

I'm not real sure about your particular application. Something to double check, Make sure that the bulbs that you are installing are the right ones i.e. 3157 most likly. Also inspect the wiring harnesses near the lens for any damage. If the car has been wrecked the wires could be damaged. It sounds to me that you might have a bad flasher relay or switch. Did the brake light on the right side work normal? Was it brighter or dimmer than the left?? Do the Emergency Flashers work Normal?

I have a 99 Buick Regal and the left front turn signal keeps going out. I have replaced the bulb twice and it last for a few days and then goes out. Any suggestions what else it might be. Thanks

The problem is obviously not the bulb unless you are using the wrong bulbs. It's most likely a bad socket or bad ground.
