Chosen Solution

I have a 2004 grand am. Recently there has been a clicking that comes from my steering console. It is more apparent after I use the blinker and clicks rapidly. Sometimes it just goes off on a rant even if I haven’t used my blinker. I read somewhere that it might be a relay? Is this something I can get to and fix myself inexpesivly? The shop has quoted me $150 just to diagnose the problem. Any help is appreciated!

oldturkey03: I watched the video, and then had the hubby watch it. He completed the steps from the video and reassembled everything last night. and guess what?!?! IT WORKED!!! No more ticking!!! It took, in total with watching the video (twice :)) about an hour. Now, let me be honest: my hubby is not a mechanic, and doesn’t do anything with vehicles above an oil change, so he is not accustomed to doing this type of work. He watched the video, un-assembled the top of the steering column as the video described, and then watched the video again to see exactly what to do with the assembly. I am soooo excited that it worked! I drove 30 minutes this morning, and for the first time in over 2 years!!!!!!!!!!

I watched the video , did everything I was suppose to do , worked for awhile now doing it again . now what?

I’m experiencing this same problem . I’m gathering information so I can fix my problem manually.

I researched what was causing the clicking noise and it also will affect your signal lights If u push on the emergency flashers too far to stop the clicking the signals stop to The company recalled certain years with this problem Mine is a 2005 u just have to look up which years it affects but it wasn’t voluntary to where they pay to have your car fixed Its the component that your emergency flashes are connected to ur dash that makes the clicking noise It’s a very easy fix just a few screws to take out then pop the ring around ur dash and it’s ready to break taken out unplug it and plug the new one up I’m a woman and I done it They ignition switch,head lights, gas lines causing fumes in the backseat we’re all on the list of recalls but the ignition is the only thing they pay for having repaired They make a new key The vehicles had been shutting off for no reason the switch would turn them off So Lok up the recalls on your Pontiac some are serious issues

Take turn signal/wiper cluster off (from on top of the steering column), get a Q-tip and some rubbing alcohol, and clean off the dirty relays(?) at the base of the turn signal. Works like a charm.

Hey everyone I have a 04 grandam GT. I fixed the problem with a new switch that I installed and a new hazard switch to. It works great. Remember don’t just replace one do both. I learned that the hard way. Cause the problem is caused by both parts. I got both parts from eBay. Hope this helps everyone. Gordonz6219@gmail
