    Found the turn signal flasher behind the ash tray. I can't remove the old flasher to install the new one, the plug just wont pull off. How do I remove the old flasher?

    I have the same problem, my turn signal does nothing. I could not even find the flasher, to check that out.

    I can't find my flasher. I will look behind the ashtray again. Someone else told me on the bracket above the accelerator but I couldn't find it there either!!

I had to use a pair of vise grips on the receiver to get a good enough grip and pull the plug like heck. There is another flasher for the emergency flashers located to the right side of the glove box (glove box has to be removed) on the far side of the alarm box for "keys left in ignition"

Why my blinkers dnt work but hazards do in 00 Pontiac Bonneville

You have no clue, guessing won't fix it , having wiring diagrams an using a DVOM - digital volt ohmmeter will. Testing an reading how they are suppose to work will. factory service info.

Turn Lamps
Battery positive voltage (B+) is supplied at all times to the turn signal/hazard flasher module in the hazard switch assembly from the rear fuse block T/SIG HAZ Fuse. The turn signal/hazard flasher module is permanently grounded. Battery positive voltage (B+) is supplied with the ignition switch in the ON or START position to the turn signal switch in the instrument panel from the rear fuse block IGN 1 Fuse.
When the turn signal switch is placed in the position to indicate a LH turn battery positive voltage (B+) is input to the turn signal/hazard flasher module Left Turn Input. In response to this input the turn signal/hazard flasher module supplies battery positive voltage (B+) in an on and off flashing pattern to the LH turn lamps and the instrument panel cluster (IPC) LH Turn Input. The LH turn lamps are permanently grounded so the LH turn lamps light when they have power, ground and turn off while power is removed. The IPC will also light the LH turn indicator.
When the turn signal switch is placed in the position to indicate a RH turn battery positive voltage (B+) is input to the turn signal/hazard flasher module Right Turn Input. In response to this input the turn signal/hazard flasher module supplies battery positive voltage (B+) in an on and off flashing pattern to the RH turn lamps and the IPC RH Turn Input. The RH turn lamps are permanently grounded so the RH turn lamps light when they have power and ground and turn off while power is removed. The IPC will also light the RH turn indicator.

Did the turn lamps operate properly?

Go to Step 3
Go to Turn Signal Lamps and Indicators Inoperative - One Side
3
Disconnect the instrument panel cluster (IPC) connector.
Connect a test lamp between the inoperative turn signal input circuit at the IPC connector and a good ground.
Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
Move the turn signal switch to the inoperative turn position.
Does the test lamp turn ON and OFF with the turn signal lamps?

The hazard back lights wont quit blinking when car is running even when i pull the fuse on a 2002 buick regal

What fuse are you pulling ?

Hazard Lamps
The hazard warning switch is part of the turn signal switch. The turn signal switch receives battery voltage at all times through the HAZARD SWITCH Fuse. When the hazard switch is placed in the HAZARD position, battery voltage is applied to the hazard lamp/turn signal lamp flasher. The hazard lamp/turn signal lamp flasher sends a turn signal flasher signal to the turn signal switch. The turn signal switch provides all of the turn lamps and turn indicators with the turn signal flasher signal, simultaneously flashing them on and off.

Turn Signal Lamps
The front turn signal lamps are made up of the front park/turn signal lamps and rear turn signal lamps. The front turn signal lamps flash with the rear turn signal lamps when a turn is initiated using the turn signal/multifunction lever. The turn signals will operate only with the ignition switch in the RUN position and will not operate during hazard flasher operation.
When the ignition is turned to the RUN position, battery voltage is supplied to the TURN SIGNAL Fuse. Battery voltage is then applied through the turn signal fuse circuit to the turn signal switch. When the turn signal switch is placed in the LH or RH position, voltage is supplied to the hazard lamp/turn signal lamp flasher. The hazard lamp/turn signal lamp flasher supplies a turn signal flasher signal to the turn signal switch. With the turn signal switch in the LH or RH position the corresponding turn signal indicator, rear turn signal, and front turn signal receive the turn signal switch signal and will flash. The front turn signals receive the turn signal switch signal from the turn signal switch via the BCM. The turn lamps are permanently grounded.

Replace the turn signal switch. Refer to Multifunction, Turn Signal, and Hazard Switch Replacement - On Vehicle in Steering Wheel and Column - Tilt.

My turn signals sometimes will quit working then I have to hit the hazard lights button leave it on and then turn my turn signals on then they work what causes this to happen

When the turn signals quit working pull up , down , front to back an back to front on the turn signal switch handle . Do they work when doing this ? Pontiac had bad switch . The power for the turn signals goes through the flasher / hazard module . Could be the switch or the module.
The HAZARD LPS fuse in the left hand instrument panel (LH IP) junction block supplies battery positive voltage to the flasher module, which is part of the hazard switch assembly. The TURN LPS fuse in the LH IP junction block supplies ignition positive voltage to the flasher module. The turn signal lamps may only be activated with the ignition switch in the ON position. When the turn signal switch is placed in either the left or right position, current flow is from the flasher module's output to the turn signal switch assembly. The flasher module then sends an on-off voltage signal to either the left or right turn signals and their instrument panel cluster (IPC) indicator. When the hazard switch is pressed, all the turn signal lamps will flash including both IPC turn signal indicators.

I just bought the car the turn signals work in the front but not in the back whats the problem?

Have you checked the bulbs already?
Don't know what kind of car you are dealing with here.
Most vehicles - the brake lights and rear turn signals share the same electrical circuit to the rear tailights. Usually the turn signal switch will separate which signal goes to the back.
Do your brake lights work? Is there a High mounted stop lamp and does it work?
I have seen a Hazard Switch be ON and fuse blown causing the Hazard Flasher to be inop - which prevented the turn signals from working. Turning OFF the hazard flasher brought back the T/S.
Check the rest of the lights - see what does and doesn't work - and do the front turn signals flash? Stay On? Or flash really slow?
Let me know what you find out and if this helps you at all.
