I have an '02 Olds Alero and it appears when the weather is humid or very hot, the directional doesn’t work in either direction. I’ve had it looked at by a GM dealership and also a local Firestone and they can’t find out what’s wrong. This has been going on for a year. Any solutions? Thanks ---

did you check your fuses ---

That sounds like an electrical connection to me. There are a limited number of places this could be. Without a better knowledge of your specific car, I can only suggest: The fuse (that is the connections to the fuese), the switch or the clockspring. If I had to make a choice, it would be the clockspring. Too bad that is the one that would likely be the most expensive. The others would be cheap. ---

After checking some data it looks like the turn signals run through a module for the hazard lights. There is a pink wire running to it from the fuse panel to supply power for the turn signals. I would check that wire at the module when the trouble occurs and make sure power is getting to the module on it. If that is good then I suggest try replacing the module. The module is most likely under the dash area.
