Where The Hell Is It???

Okay guys somebody help me out.I have a 99' cavalier 2 dr coupe and about a month ago my passenger side signal flasher stopped working.The driver side flashes front andback fine but when i switch to the left side i get nothing but a buzzing noise.I've been on automobile help websites but still cannot locate the **** thing.Also when i turn my hazard lights on the 2 front lights flash and the rear driver side does but not the rear passenger side(weird).I checked both rear bulbs and they look fine,i even switched the driver/passenger rear and the bulbs are good.I was underneath my driver side dash and turned the flasher on while i was down there and found this white box where all the buzzing noise was coming from so i opened it up and there was no flasher inside.I'm looking for that little round metal cylinder that is pissing me off.Sorry for the long message!!I appreciate any help thanks!!

change the bulb in the pass rear and check the socket.

Sounds like a short, I had that problem in my car. One of my hazard relay wires was touching metal. Check that cylinder thing first, that is the relay, However I wouldnt be able to tell you where it is:crap: .

I don't know if that generation cavaliers are anything like the monte's of the same time... but the turn signal switch goes bad all the time in the montes.

some of your newer cars dont have the metal cylinder, they have relays, check under the hood in the fuse relay box.

what would it be labeled as?

i'll try that and see if that works,but will that take care of the buzzing noise when I turn the signal to the passenger side?

The relays are like the cylinder or little black plastic boxes, they should be under the dash or in the breaker/fuse box under the hood.

I went to the local checkers auto store and the guy in there sold me the metal cylinder and that black square looking thing w/prongs on it.He told me my problem had nothing to do with under the hood

Then it is under the dash by the pedals

That's exactly where i found that white box.When i touch it i can feel the driver side flash(tick tock)/passenger side (buzzing noise right in my hand,but again i've pryed one side of it open and it doesn't look like what i'm looking for.It's weird because the size of this box looks like it couldn't even fit that cylinder or the black module.Should i just open the **** thing?Hey maybe you know,how much would it cost and who would fix a problem like this?I tried the chevy dealership but they are on strike lol.

Honestly, if it is electrical it will be costly. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif
