Emergency flasher works, turn signals dont

replace the flasher fuse

on the malibu the turn signal and hazzard flasher are all in one. so if a problem replace flasher unit in dash.

Replace Emergency Flasher Switch. This is an electronic switch and failures are common. Dealer part for best quality. Aftermarket parts work but have patchy quality.

The emergency flasher switch is also the turn signal flasher It pops out of the dash and can be replaced easy. do chaeck the fuses before going to this much troble. check all the fuses as some work backup circuits that you wouldn;t think would be important. Before replacing the flasher switch ( you may only be able to buy it from the dealer) work the switch several times and the flashers will come on cheak to see if allthe lights work thenturn the flashers off and see ( with the key on if the turn signals now work. Now if during the test with the four way flashers you see a bulb or more out you know that the turn signals wouldn't work, but the four ways will. they work on different fuses so chak the turnsignal fuse too. after cycling the switch try the turn signals again as the switch is likly to stick and sometimes cycling it will get the turn signals working again. Fooling around with the switch you may find a position that the turn signals work. if you can't get it to stay working then you'll have to change the flasher emergency switch.

there is a short in your liting system
e

they are a serpent system different flashers and fuses and some times element of bulb

Your signals work on a seperate system then your flashers. Sounds like your multifunction switch is busted.

multifunction switch? I think so.

The turn signals don't work, but the emergency flashers do? If that's the case, replace the flasher, you have 2 flashers, one for emergency (hazard) flasher, and one for the turn signals. It should be on the fuse block under the dash.

There is a recall on the alero for this issue. We had the same with our 01 alero and they fixed it under the recall.
