Turn signal problem

[steveo1stS70]

Hi all I've come into another problem,this time with my turn signals.When I put the turn signal on it doesn't blink.It's just a steady light.They do come on sometime so I figure something is on it's way out or a bad connection.Could someone let me know what part I'm going to need?

Bad blinker unit. It's all built into the Hazard Light switch.
Without unplugging it, pull the radio out far enough to reach
into the dash and give the Hazard Light switch a push out.

You could replace with used, but that just means it'll die sooner...
I'd suggest a new one. These guys can help you out with good prices:

I was having a problem with my turn signal, 2002 V70. I would push it up or down, it would light once then stop. I would have to keep pushing it up or down to keep the light blinking. I bought a used turn signal switch on ebay for $30. It took about 1/2 hour to take out the old one and put in the new one. Signals work fine.

There are three torx screws under the steering column. Two came out and one just loosed and stayed in place. There is a rubber gasket around the switch you can pop off with your fingers and slide it off the switch. Once you loosen the screws under the steering column, the two halves of the cowl covering the steering column can separate. You can lower the steering column as far as it can go, with the lever on the underside. This gives you some room on the top to wiggle the top half of the cowl and remove it. Now you have access to the switch.

The switch is held in by two small philips head screws.....do you believe it...not torx!! Take out the screws. I used a flat head screw driver to gently pry the old switch out. It doesn't take much effort. If you look at the new switch you can see the electrical connectors you are separating. It comes out easily. To install, slip in the new switch where the old one was until the connectors attach. Minimal effort. Insert and tighten the screws. Slip in the top half of the cowl. The two halves of the cowl snap together like a lego. Make sure the rubber gasket is in place between the two halves of the cowl before you snap it in, the gasket on the turn signal on the left and the switch on the right. Once both are aligned, snap the cowls in place. Tighten the three screws under the steering column and you are done. Very simple. Now when I push it up or down, the lights blink.
