Can someone please tell me where the turn signal relay is located in 2001 chevy cavalier?
Thanks
Above the brake pedal
The blinker relay is attached to the driver's right side of the steering post, under the dash, above the brake pedal. The OEM is dayglo green, and that is probably why it is difficult to recognize. It is held in place with two plastic posts which are pushed through two holes in a metal bracket. Use a screw driver of other device to gently push the device away from the metal bracket. The relay, attached to the plug, will drop, making it eqsier to replace. How you secure it after you replace it with a new (black) relay is unknown.
Thanks so much! I know nothing about cars and with you description and pics I was able to change this blinker relay on my wife's car. Had to get a little creative laying upside-down in the seat but I got er! :-D What a stupid spot to have that. Who designs these cars?? LOL
Thanks again!
Thanks so much for you description and pics! I don't know anything about cars but I was able to get this blinker relay switched out on my wife's car. I can honestly say that's the first time I laid upside-down in a car seat with my head on the floor :-D Who designs these cars any ways???
Thanks again!
It was extremely helpful. I was able to fix my turn signal, and I have never worked on my car by myself. The instructions were perfect. Thank you. Also, I used zip ties to secure the new relay. It was a bit tricky, but it worked.

My turn signels wlii work for about15 seconds and then stop working unless you turn it off and then turn it back on. and then it will do the same thing.could it be the relay?
In addition to mikeworde386's much appreciated answer, I had to remove a plastic protective flap first before I could remove the relay of my Cavelier 2000. The flap was mounted with a torx screw on rear (driver) side, the front (motor) side plastic pin hangs in a hole in an iron strip.
After dismounting the relay with the wire plug following mikeworde386's post, I could not remove the relay from the plug by hand. It felt like blocked after 15 years. But applying some force on all 4 sides by inserting a screwdriver (all metal isolated (!)) between the plug and the relay, worked for me.
There is a great tip about securing the new relay, if the new one lacks plastic mounting posts. A post by Jon, Pottsville, PA, see: 2001 cavalier flasher for turn signal
