Pontiac Repair: Turn signal relay / Pontiac Sunfire 2001, 2.4 engine., pontiac sunfire, colored paint


Question
Pontiac Sunfire 2001, 2.4 engine.

My turn signals have been failing, blinking for a sec and turning off. I believe this to be my turn signal relay. I got a new relay and the problem I am having now is/ Where is the relay in the car, (i think in fusebox behind wheel!) and how do I access it?

Answer
Hi Breyan:

Yes the flasher element is under the dash it's either to the right or the left of the steering column. Turn on the t/s and listen for the clicking noise. This car has 2 of them 1 for thr hazzard flasher and one for the t/s make sure you chnage the right one. They look exactly the same except for they have a colored paint band around the outside of them Like one is yellow and one is blue. The replacement one you bought more than likley will not have that but make sure the # stamped on the end of it is the same as the one you are changing. The 2 of them are mounted on the same piece of metal under the dash so that makes it confusing as well. Good luck :)
