check your bulbs, make sure they are all working (tail lights, front blinkers), if so then check replay. can replace bulbs and relay with a trip to local auto parts store.

our relay is going out.

where is the turn signal relay on a 2002 olds

Try wiggling the turn signal switch and applying the brakes.Have somebody check and see if the brake lights come on or flicker while wiggling the switch and applying the brakes. Try this after verifying the bulbs are good. If the brake lights come on after even briefly the turn signal switch needs replaced.

make sure the bulbs you placed are the correct ones. or check the fuse box.

All this runs though the hazzard button in the dash. The light in it gets hot and eventually shorts the system. It is fairly easy to replace if you have small hands. I think the new button is around $20. This happened to my alero and also my moms alero. Solved the problem on both.

i have a 2000 and you gotta replace the hazard light switch due to the company used cheap products and it shorts out your signal lights...usually costs around 200

Hi,

To my knowledge the turn signal flasher for a 2001 Oldsmobile Alero is part of the Hazard Flashing switch. It is actually a 4 way flasher unit in one assembly.

Additionally, there was a recall order for 1999-2002 Alero models due to electrical issues which includes signal lights. You can try calling Oldsmobile at 1-800-630-6537. The Ref. No. is 04098A issued Jan. 11, 2006. Accordingly, the repairs will be made at no charge to the customer. The special policy covers warranty repair (for such problems) for a period of 10 years or 150,000 miles (240,000 km), whichever occurs first.

Hope this be of initial help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information.

Good luck and kind regards.

Thank you for using FixYa.
