Question off the wall question...

this is an LS1 question cause the car has an LS1 in it now. it's an 02 chevy impala. I am getting ready to sell it and the turn signal doesn't work all the time. sometimes i just stops making the clicking noise and stops blinking as well. anyone know what could be the problem?

You're turn signal bulb is burned out.

lol no. if that was true it wud never work instead of working most of the time. plus the clicking noise the flasher makes stops too when the bulb stops lighting up. I think it's just the flasher but I think it's also integrated. whatever that means...

i just wanted to see if there was any helpful advise out there.

...by the way it doesn't have an LS1 in it. i just wanted people to read it, answer it, and then maybe later... laugh!

It's possible the signal switch itself is going bad, or very dirty and not working properly. I would check that out.

Flasher units CAN be intermittent. Mine was flashing really fast most of the time, then sometimes it wouldn't flash at all, then other times it would flash really fast again. USUALLY they just die, but it is possible to be intermittent. If all of the bulbs are good, try replacing the flasher - it's cheap enough.
