Intrigue Intermittent A/C and Turn Signals

Danders,

Start your engine, turn the turn signal on, and wiggle the hazard flasher button (But don't turn the hazards on). If the turn signal starts working, it's a faulty hazard switch.

As for your a/c problem. It's not related. Every 3-4 years an a/c needs to be serviced. Have it leak tested and re-charged. The a/c going on and off, usually means a low charge. The a/c system is supposed to be air tight, right? Nope, they all leak a bit over time. There is no rubber seal/hose/connector created yet, that is not permeable at some point. You should still have a leak check done though. You never know if there is a larger leak.

GMdude, Thanks for the advice. I've yet to get the A/C checked out, but you were exactly right about the faulty hazard switch. danders

what about a 2000 grand am... that the turn signals work... then sometimes stop working, but will turn back on if u keep on hitting the hazard button on off on off and finally the turning signals will start turning on...???

thanks,

C, That's exactly what mine was doing. Try GMDude's suggestion - If I left the signal on, I could wiggle the hazard button left and right and the turn signal would go on and off. danders

Danders,

I was happy to be of assistance to you. Once a week or so, I offer assistance on this group to people that state problems clearly, and provide vehicle make, model, and year.

I don't reply when the info is sketchy.

Yes, I'm a GM tech. I give info free on the weekends.

There is no way for you to compensate me for the information, other than a "thank you". And yes, that is just fine with me.

Your welcome, Danders.
