Turn Signals and Hazard Lights

In order to change any of the tail light bulbs in a Chevy Celebrity it is necessary to remove the light fixture:

1. Inside the trunk next to the quarter panel there are three nuts. Remove the center nut on the side you want to remove. It should line up with the center of the light fixture.

2. Pull the fixture out until the stud clears the body.

3. Pull gently outward to pull a tab out of the backup light fixture.

4. Unlock the appropriate socket and remove from the fixture. Change the light bulb and reassemble.

The 2003 Chevy S 10 pickup truck turn signal flasher relay switch can be found beneath the drivers side dashboard. The turn signal flasher relay switch will be between the gas pedal and the brake pedal.

This is not too difficult. I have three 1990 Reattas so have done this a couple of times. Look in the Owners Manual to get the correct bulb, the dealer may or may not have it but auto supply places such as Auto Zone do, it cost about $10, it is not just a bulb, it is a small module with the bulb in it. Repalcing this bulb is almost like changing the oil. You'll have to crawl under the front bumper and remove 2 screws from the 3-inch splash guard so you can get the splash guard out of the way, you do not have to remove the entire splash guard. Then just reach up to the turn-signal bulb module and pull it out, it may take a little wiggling to get it out if it has been there for a number of years. Then put in the new module. Once you buy the replacement module and look at it, it becomes obvious what to do and which of the many lights is the turn-signal. The smaller the fingers, the easier it is to do as it is a tight fit. If you have a big hand with larger fingers, it may be more difficult. It took me 30+ minutes the first time I did it as I had to figure out what to do, but the last time ( 6 months ago) it took about 10 minutes.

I just changed the whole headlight assembly in my 1997 grand caravan. However, to change the parking light or turn signal indicator light, there is a round plastic plate in the front fender well in front of the tire. Pop this out and reach in and unplug the socket from the light assembly, change the bulb and install in reverse order. Good luck!

Look in or around the fuse panel --left side of steering column

First, remove the plastic cover from the steering column - this has three Torx (i.e. star drive) screws beneath the column and consists of two pieces.

The turn signal assembly is bolted onto the column with two Torx tamper-proof screws that require a special tool. I recommend getting a small set of Torx tamper-proof bits that can be connected to adapter handle or electric driver - this will be cheaper than buying a set of screwdrivers.

Remove the two mounting screws and then unscrew the electrical connector and pull it out of the slot.

Replace in reverse order.

Open the trunk lid and pull the upholstery from the rear of the trunk. You will find white and black plastic wing nuts. Remove the white ones on the side you are working on and swing the lens assembly up. If you don't like standing on your head to work on the lights, remove all of the white and black wing nuts and pull the tail light assembly to the rear. Replace the bulbs. Jack

OPEN THE TRUNK, IN THE RIGHT OR LEFT CORNERS THAT OR CLOSER TO THE TAIL LIGHTS DEPENDING ON WHAT SIGNAL NEEDS CHANGING TAKE IT LOOSE FROM (INSIDE THE TRUNK I BELIEVE 3 SCREWS) AND THE WHOLE LIGHT WILL FALL OUTWARD SO HANG ON TO IT.

in the fuse box either in the engime compartment or on the driver side under the dash near the door there is a fuse box also.

Hey where are the screws ... Right ! The entire lense assembly must first be removed and then it's just twist-n-turn and pop in a new bulb. To remove the assembly first remove the upholstery panel that runs from tailight to tailight inside the trunk. To do this remove the two plastic mushroom looking things on the panel. They have a place for a torx screwdriver but you can probably use a similar size hex wrench or even pliers since they did not seem to be too tight. The trunk light is on this panel so you you may want to disconnect the trunk light (or temporarily tape over the bare contacts) so you don't get a sparking surprise if you contact it with a wrench. Now you can see the nuts that hold in the tailight assembly ... remove all the nuts and carefully pull the taillight assembly away from the car body. If it is stuck, (and it probably will be), gently tap on the studs that the nuts were on with a rubber mallet (or use a regular hammer and a small block of wood to protect the studs). Don't hit the black plastic locator pins if you can help it. Keep tapping on the studs one-by-one and the assembly should release. Now that its out you will see a twist-n-turn connector with some wires hanging out of it. So just twist, turn, pull it out , replace the burned out bulb and reverse the entire procedure, There now wasn't that easy!

There should be a switch located on the shaft that the brake pedal is attached to. Check the wiring and listen for a click when the brake is depressed. If everything seems okay, use a wire to jump across the two contacts and see if the brake lights go on. If this fails, then you have a broken wire somewhere in your brake light circuit. Good luck.

The relay that handles the turn signals is separate from the relay that handles the hazards.

Most likely you have a burned out turn signal relay. Most likely the relay is located in your fuse panel and is a very inexpensive item to replace.

turn signals and hazards have separate flasher cans both look the same and are generally in the fuse box replace the hazard flasher can. they cost about 2 dollars at auto store

HOUNDDAWG ADDS:

There may be a lamp with one of the turn signal elements burned out. If one is burned out turn signals may not work even though the lamp appears to be working when the lights are on.

Otherwise replace emergency flasher or possibly turn signal switch in steering wheel.

I had the same problem on my 2003 Saturn L200. When I cycled the Hazard Signal/switch for about 30 seconds, both left and right turn signals once again worked!!

The rear drum brakes are self adjusting. This happens each time you back up and apply the brakes. You can speed the process by backing up and using the hand brake to stop. If for some reason this is not working you can, on some cars manually adjust the brakes by removing a small rubber seal on the lower part of the backing plate at each wheel. You then use a brake adjustment wrench to rotate a star wheel and tighten the brake shoes snugly against the drum until it cannot be turned by hand. Back it off until the wheel can be turned freely. I would first try removing the wheel and drum and clean all components with a spray brake assembly cleaner. More than likely, it is not working due to corrosion or dirt in and around the assembly.

If the turn signal housing is the 2007 van, there is a small gray tab on the fender side just inside the black housing. You can take a flat head screw driver and gently push the tab towards the front of the grill. The whole assembly should now hinge forward toward the bumper and easily come out. Twist out the appropriate bulb sockects and replace the bulbs (3157 for turn signals and 194 for marker lights). Reverse the procedure and the housing should just 'click' back in. hope that helps

The turn signal flasher on a 2005 Buick Century is under the dash on the driver's side of the vehicle. Look for a small box just above, and to the right, of the brace that holds the brake pedal in place.

It's behind the panel to the left of the cigarrette lighter. You need a Torx 25 screwdriver and another screwdriver for those hex shaped screws, forgot the size. First unscrew the 2 Torx 25 screws beneath the steering wheel. Then unscrew the rest of those Hex screws on the bottom. The panels overlap, so be prepared for a lot of unscrewing. You do need to unscrew the middle black panel on the bottom, right beneath the cig lighter. It's held by two Hex shaped screws, one on each side and are hard to unscrew. Also you need to remove your spare change sliding tray to unscrew the last hex looking screw. Once you pop your panel off, the turn signal flasher is the right one. The Hazard flasher is the left one. You can find a replacement part at Autozone, and DON'T get the $184 Flasher switch, all you need is the signal flasher. It's shaped like a cylinder with TWO prongs on it.

The flasher module is about 2-3 inches below the headlamp switch. Remove the knee blocker from the instrument panel. Pull out the combination flasher slightly then unplug the flasher from the electrical connector. Remove the combination flasher. Use a Tridon Stant EP 27 Flasher or similar.

everyone should have a manual for their vehicle, and the library should have a professional manual available...in the reference section, you'll have to make copies of the important sections...good luck :)

It is only legal if you are on a one way street turning on to a one way street

Regulatory Compliance: Make sure the tape you choose complies with relevant safety standards and regulations in your industry.

Before making a purchase, it's a good idea to research the specific requirements of your application and choose the appropriate type of hazard warning tape.

The reason is that not enough current [milliamps, or amps--whichever the bulb requires] is getting through the circuit. The most common cause for this problem is a poor ground. An "open" ground would let no current flow, and the bulb would not light at all. Since there is some glowing of the bulb filament, suggests the poor ground. Another, but less common cause could be that a wire has been partially cut through, reducing current carrying capacity. For example, most automotive wires are not one solid copper conductor, but 7 to 10 smaller conductors within the insulation sheath. The purpose for these stranded wires is to increase flexibility, and if some of the strands break, then the remaining strands can carry some current, possibly allowing the device [bulb or whatever] to continue to function, albeit at reduced current and efficiency. Before trying to search, locate, and correct a partially cut wire, first check the ground wire from the bulb socket to ground. Make sure all connector contacts, wire, and the contact to the body or sheet metal ground point are FREE OF CORROSION, clean and tight. Check for bad ground, or a partial/ high resistance short in light assembly, or anywhere in the circuit.

under dash on drivers side, in either a clip adjacent to the steering column. or in convenience center.

A break in the wiring for these circuits exists somewhere between the fuse panel and the rear assemblies. A wiring diagram would be useful in determining the point most likely for the break. The brake lights are on a separate circuit than the hazard flashers and the turn signals in many vehicles; and, the front indicators are a branch of the same circuitry which runs to the rear. The break in the wiring is downstream of this junction.

At least one city block. Always let the driver behind know what you are about to do.

there should be 3 plastic lugs behind the carpet in the trunk and all you have to do is pull the carpet back and un-screw those lugs and the light should just pop out. once you have the light out there will be a clip for each bulb. find the bulb that is bad and there will be a plastic piece that you have to press and turn the whole piece then the clip will come off the taillight and the bulb will come with the clip. to remove the bulb just press the bulb down and twist it and it will come out of the harness.
