High beam / blinkers issue help plz !!
Im having the same problem ive read about here on alot of camaros. My high beams wont switch on/off unless i tilt my steering comumn, which ive read here means i need to re attach the metal rod in steering column. My question is, my blinkers or haz lights wont work at all. Could these two problems be connected and what can i do to fix blinkers???
( and yes i changed bulbs out first)

Do your blinkers work when you use them for HAZ lights?

Check the fuse. Then check the bulbs i fixed mine by changing all bulbs the PO had a wrong bulb type causing them to not function

I think that might be the issue as when I had the tail lights they didnt have the orange turn light bulbs. Ill try it out this weekend and see what happens

Re: High beam / blinkers issue help plz !!
I had problems with my high beams not wanting to switch on unless I moved the steering wheel. got the column tight, clicks fine now. on the same night I fixed the column, my back 2 turn signals/hazds went out.. bulbs were fine, replaced them anyways though. front ones come on, but just stay on, haha. oh well. should'nt be too hard to fix.... (words I'm hoping to not regret)

As for the turn signals, there is a good chance that your flasher is dead. Ik on my 90 Jeep XJ I had my turn signals would just stay on. its like a 5-15$ part and its really easy to install..

It's a part you rarely have to replace. but yes it's called a Flasher. It's just an over glorified Capacitor. here is what you are looking for http://www.autozone.com/autozone/par...r=6413_0_7281_
