I HAVE A 2004 PONTIAC GRAND AM WITH 40,000 MILES ON IT. THE OTHER DAY I WAS SIGNALING A LANE CHANGE AND NOW THE CLICKING SOUND BEHIND MY HAZARD WARNING SWITCH IS CONSTANTLY ON AND OFF.

I KNOW THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM ON EARLIER MODEL YEARS OF MY VEHICLE AND AN INVESTIGATION WAS CONDUCTED FOR THOSE VEHICLE.
