Q: What are the different turn signal and hazard flasher types used in Chevrolet Nova?
A: Various Chevrolet vehicles utilize different turn signal and hazard flasher types, necessitating that any replacement must be identical to the part removed. The turn signal flasher is mounted in a clip on the instrument panel's lower lip, but gaining access to the flasher connection may require removing the cigarette lighter connection. Where applicable, a hazard warning flasher is mounted in the Fuse panel and will not typically operate when the brake pedal is depressed. If the turn signals fail on one side of the vehicle and the flasher unit cannot be heard, a faulty bulb is likely the cause. However, if the flasher unit can be heard, it points to a short to ground. Possible causes of a fault may also include a wiring defect, incorrect bulb type, or a defective switch, necessitating a systematic check. If the turn signals fail on both sides, it could be due to a blown fuse, faulty flasher unit or switch, or a broken or loose connection. In cases of a blown fuse, before replacing, check for short circuits between wires and to ground. Should the hazard warning lamps be inoperative, the same diagnostic procedures apply.
