Clicking noise in dash when turn signals are used and then turned off. Also, same clicking noise randomly.

Hazard flasher switch was replaced on 3/9/07 because of a constant clicking like the turn signal being on. This did not stop the clicking but slowed it down. The clicking was still there, and traced to the steering column-turn signal switch. Some days this was constant, others it was slow but very annoying.

Our 2002 Pontiac Grand Am also developed the annoying "clicking" noise that sounded as if the blinkers were on when they were not. This is a known issue with the multi-function turn signal switch supplied to GM by TRW. How do I know this" a good friend of mine is employed with TRW as the quality engineer on the P90 line and informed me of a design change to the switch during the 2002 model year. He supplied me with a replacement switch that corrected the issue. When will/is GM going to step up to the plate and acknowledge this issue and recall all affected vehicles"

Mulitifunction switch failure in our 2002 Grand Am auto. I have read numerous complaints from other Grand Am owners having this same problem and GM/Pontiac refuses to issue the recall for vehicles from 2002 forward. Yet they have a recall for this exact switch for 1999 - 2001 vehicles. We are trying to get this switch repaired at this time but the cost is very very high.

I have a 2002 Pontiac Grand Am - approximately 50,000 miles - about a month ago, there began a loud clicking noise coming from the dashboard (it sounds like the turn signal is on) - it clicks constantly, sometimes real fast and other times, slower. I have read many complaints, but have found no recalls yet. I recently had an oil change and the manager told me his wife's 2002 Grand Am had the same problem and he found out there may be a recall issued. I would like to when there is going to be a recall on this issue or how I can get this resolved. Is the dealer responsible for this seeing that my warranty has now expired?

Blinker switch sound keeps on ticking at a rapid pace even though the blinker is turned off. I know this has been a recall issue with 2000 and 2001 Grand Am and have heard numerous complaints regarding this in 2002. Why no recall?
