Chevrolet Malibu intermittent turn signal failure with unpredictable operation on Chevrolet Malibu

Problem overview

Some Chevrolet Malibu owners report experiencing intermittent turn signal failure, which may be attributed to several factors. These include mechanical issues with the turn signal mechanism that can cause the signal to remain on after turning, necessitating manual shut-off. Additionally, problems with the turn signal switch have been reported, leading to signals that flash too quickly or not at all. Some owners also note clicking noises from the turn signal switch, which could indicate a failure impacting the hazard flasher, particularly in models from 1997 to 2008. While some have found temporary relief by wiggling the signal switch, this does not provide a lasting solution. Furthermore, intermittent issues may arise from poor connections or nearly broken wires, highlighting the importance of checking and potentially re-plugging the BCM connectors. It is recommended for affected owners to seek professional assistance to properly diagnose and resolve these issues.
