alright guys, my blinkers in my 82z turn on, but they just don't blink, what could be causing this, any ideas are appreciated

thanks

 

Did you put in a new flasher unit? And did you check to make sure all bulbs are ok. Both of these will cause your prloblem..

the bulbs are all okay so i'll try the flasher unit. Do you know where it is located?

thanks

p.s. is your car the 4sp or auto

 

drivers side. close to the console. its held on by some screw/bolts i belive. there should be a little panel. there are atleast two, maybe three round things about an inch high and an inch and abit across as well as other things. im just going by memory, i could be wrong

tyler's right ,it's probably your flasher,although you might want to check the grounds ,front and rear, if this does not solve the problem i've seen grounds do really strange things when contact is bad. you might just be out of blinker fluid, too(no, not really)feel free to email me with questions

 

My car is the auto, which is now a turbo 350 auto trans with a 355ci slightly built motor.
Going on what was said about the ground, check the ground strap that is at the back of the motor on the passenger side head, if it is corroded or loose it can be a source of problems as well. Sounds to me as if you have a bad flasher unit. As the others have said on the drivers side nearest the kick panel you'll find a cover that has wing style plastic nut that when you twist it will allow you access to fuse panel and the flasher is usually the silver round unit that is plugged into the fuse block.
Hope that helps..

Oddly, GM chose to hide the flasher relay up above the "convenience" center on the 82-84 (may have went on longer too). It's help to a dash brace with a pinch clip. Why ? Don't know and won't bother with an opinion.
It will require some dimantling though (not quite as dramatic as below though)...

have you ever opened up the convience center. i went to replace the flasher unit(s) and only had one silver on. i was curious if your car had two or one. i have an 84 Z28
thanks a bunch

The one on the 'convenience center' is for the hazard warning flasher. The one for the turn signals is on it's own seperate wire connector, and was originally clipped to the metal frame of the convenience center, as is visible in deadbird's pic...

my '89 convertible has the flasher/center in the same spot

 

I have the same problem on my 86 SC, is that thing the arrow is pointing at the relay to change? I have the replacement, but I cant figure out how to do it, im an idiot lol

 

Yes.

 

Ok heres a pic I got, which one is it?, and if its Relay 1, how the hell do I change it? I cant fit even my finger up there, lol

Sorry the pic is at a funny angle, im not a small guy and its hard to get under there with a camera...
