    Turn signal stalk buzzing

    Sooo my turn signals stopped working and when you use the turn signal stalk it makes a buzzing sound. It seems to come from inside the steering column. Any ideas what can be causing that. All the bulbs seem fine.

    Also don't know if it is related but the check light for the brake lights is on although they all light up fine.

    Turn signal relay. It located below the column, inside the plastic covers.

    It most likely has nothing to do with your checkcontrol problems.

      What does it mean when it starts buzzing. It when bad? Short?

          For future reference if your flasher relay is buzzing when you try to use the turn signal stalk the problem is this. The hazard light switch is in the place of the rear window defrost switch.

            I usually hit my column a few times = problem solved.
