Beware...some GM cars , especially 94-96 were made with two flashers in them. One was for the emergency flashers and the other was for the directional. If you flashers are located under the dash by the steering wheel look around you will see the other one. Be sure to replace it with the proper one.

SOURCE: Where is the turn signal flasher located

The flasher is located on the fuse block. The other thing that may be wrong could be the actuall switch for the turn signals which is located inside the steering coloum.

There are two flasher units,one for the turn signals,and another for the emergency,or 4 way flashers.There is a possibility you replaced the wrong flasher unit..

SOURCE: Both turn signals light, but do not blink

under the dash on the driver side there is a round or square sliver box that should say turn signal or flasher on it in the fuse box.

SOURCE: Hazard flashers do not work. Turn signals do.

make sure you replaced right flasher... by turning on turn signal then grab flasher if it is clicking it is the wrong flasher... there are two flashers... if you have right flasher make sure brake lights work properly.... usually the fuse for the hazards is also the brake light fuse...let me know

SOURCE: emergancy flashers work but turn signals dont

Check fuses , they operate on different circuits, ie ignition or battery dependant on switchwork. But unlikely to be a short in indicator circuit seen as 4way works fine but still may be a fault in a shared circuit . You may be down another electrical componant but are unaware at the moment ! Good luck

I have 2008 chevy express, the turn signals flash fast, but not able to find a flasher unit. I have checked grounds, bulbs and fuses, all are good

The BCM - body control module controls turn signals . There is no flasher unit . Your best bet would be to take your vehicle to the dealer !
Turn Signal Lamps
The BCM 3, BCM 5, and BCM 6 fuses located in the underhood fuse block supply battery voltage to the body control module (BCM) for turn signal, hazard lamp, and stop lamp operation. Voltage from the BCM 5 fuse used for the front and rear left turn signals, voltage from the BCM 3 for the right front turn signal, while voltage from the BCM 6 fuse is used for the right rear turn signal. When the turn signal switch is place in either the LEFT or RIGHT position, ground from G303 is applied through the turn signal switch signal circuit to the BCM indicating the turn signal request. In response to this signal, the BCM applies a pulsating voltage to the front and rear turn signal lamps supply voltage circuits cycling the lamps ON and OFF. The BCM also sends a message via GMLAN to the instrument panel cluster (IPC) to cycle the turn signal indicator ON and OFF depending on the position of the turn signal switch.

Ignition ON, observe the scan tool Left Turn Signal Switch parameter while using the turn signal/multifunction switch to turn the left turn signal ON and OFF. The reading should change between Active and Inactive.

My rear turn signals are not working. front turn signals work rear parking lights work brake lights work

In the diagram for rear lamp, the top wires are voltage, the bottom black wire is ground. The brown wire on either side should be tail lamps, goes hot when you turn on the headlamp switch. The other top wire on either should be for turn signal. With everything turned on, is there voltage on that wire?
Because the front works and the rear don't, possible wiring circuit problem? The voltage for turn signals comes from bcm. The bcm knows when you turn on turn signal switch, either side, then the bcm sends voltage to turn signal lamp at the rear and front.

Brake lights do not work. step on brake in park brake lights work. turn right signal on and step on brake left brake light comes on . turn on right signal and no brake lights work. put transmission in...

One of 2 things to have checked, if all your bulbs and connections are correct. 1-stop lamp switch module.
2-multifunction/combination switch (blinker arm/components that are in the steering column). For about a 1/2 hrs. labor cost, a mechanic should be able to test the circuits.
