crunkGP96 Posted July 16, 2016 Report Posted July 16, 2016 The turn signals broke on my 95 GTP. The turn signal handle got really hard to move and well looks like I broke whatever inside now because it just goes up and down now without getting stuck anywhere when I go back and forth with it. Anyone now what I need to replace and how to do it? Has never happened in any of my previous GP's. Need to fix it asap as it's pretty unsafe! I also need a non power antenna assembly if anyone has one. Tried replacing the current one with a NOS grand am one I had and never got it to work correctly. Car is running great besides that. Please help! Mainly with the turn signals! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
94 olds vert Posted July 16, 2016 Report Posted July 16, 2016 Unfortunately, can't find the old write up anymore. To replace, disconnect the battery, remove air bag, pull steering wheel, beware of the horn contact relay thing, unplug the TSS, unbolt it. There are three small bolts that hold it. Some if not a lot or all of the plastic trim needs to be removed. Basic hand tools, other than the steering wheel puller. Oh, and a snap ring pliers those do come in handy. Not sure why a grand am antenna wouldn't work. Almost any universal antenna at the local parts store should work. Quote

crunkGP96 Posted July 16, 2016 Author Report Posted July 16, 2016 It's the part that keep steering wheel locked Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
crunkGP96 Posted July 17, 2016 Author Report Posted July 17, 2016 This is my problem. I don't know if it's worn or what but it's not popping back correctly in place when switching back and forth. It's not broken. Lubing it and cleaning it and see how it goes Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
Imp558 Posted July 17, 2016 Report Posted July 17, 2016 That is the lock ring in the first picture. We just covered this in another thread somewhere less than a month ago. Quote
crunkGP96 Posted July 17, 2016 Author Report Posted July 17, 2016 Yea I figured it out. Bought a new turn signal switch last night which has the whole plastic assembly that is doing the problem. Switching it out in a bit Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
Imp558 Posted July 17, 2016 Report Posted July 17, 2016 the lock ring compressor isn't very expensive tool from an auto parts store. AutoZone rents them. every GM car from the 90s is going to require the use of that tool. Quote
Imp558 Posted July 17, 2016 Report Posted July 17, 2016 oh yeah last time my turn signal switch broke I pulled the airbag off and found a note I wrote to myself in Sharpie marker with the date I put the last one in and it turned out it was under lifetime warranty. if I wouldn't have written that I would have never remembered because it was years ago.

crunkGP96 Posted July 19, 2016 Author Report Posted July 19, 2016 Got it fixed. Was the turn signal switch. Thanks for all the help guys. That lock ring compressor and steering wheel puller where definitely needed. I really appreciate all the help I get on this forum. You guys are awesome. Now for an antenna lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
crunkGP96 Posted July 19, 2016 Author Report Posted July 19, 2016 Car still gets plenty of looks. I relocated down south and I have yet to see another one. Got more compliments than when I lived in the Midwest. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
