No. Daytime running light can be disabled without affecting turn signals.
Well, you don't state the poblem, but if all your turn signals are not working and flashing as they should, replace the Turn Signal Flasher Relay.
You should use your turn signal in far enough advance so the car behind you knows you are going to turn and has enough time to slow down. However, putting the turn signal on too far in advance can be confusing because the following car will not know exactly when you are going to turn.
Well kinda. The highbeam "flasher" function is connected to the turn signal arm.
The most likely culprit is called the "multi-function switch" located on the steering column, basically your turn signal arm. It controls your turn signals, wipers, high beams as well as cruise control if you have it. The whole unit is pretty expensive new and requires some serious labor to change it out, (removing entire dash, as well as the steering wheel and airbag unit) but it's worth it! If you are on a budget and willing to gamble, a local salvage yard should be able to set you up with one for considerably less money.
The clockspring is the part that turns your turn signals off when the turn is completed or that warns you if your turn signals have stayed on too long. It also serves as the conduit electrically to activate your drivers side airbag in a crash. If your turn signals do not turn off the clockspring is probably the problem. If you get an airbag light that stays on all the time it COULDbe the clockspring but could also be something else in the circuit as well.
Why? To warn other drivers of your intention to make a turn. You want to give them plenty of time to prepare for the turn you are going to make and the sudden drop in speed of your car as you turn. Wait until the last minute to turn on your turn signals and you may be rear-ended by a driver not paying close attention or driving too fast.
Well so far I have found that when I turn my headlamps on and switch to the high been and then use the rocker switch for the hazards, it will allow for my turn signals to start working again.
Well I personally have a 2000 Malibu LS and have had the same troubles random clicking noises when signals aren't on then no signals or random signals. The problem is your hazard relay switch, it is located in your dash board very easy abd cheap fix.
Check for burnt out bulbs and could be a bad flasher as well.
