      Turn Signal Fuse

      I've been looking to upgrade the bulbs in the turn signals and stop lights, and noticed that i can replace the fuse instead of buying a load resistor per bulb. When I pop open the fuse panel and look at which fuse is for what, the wording isn't very well for the turn signal fuse. I know it makes a clicking sound when it comes on but still not sure, anybody now which one it is??

      I think you are confused.
      If you are upgrading to a higher watt bulb, you need a larger fuse.
      If you are upgrading to LED bulbs, you will need a resistor to make them blink at a normal speed.
      If you are just swapping in clear bulbs, 99% of the time, they are the same watt so you do not need to change anything.

      yea my mistake.
      well the site i'm looking to buy from offers load resistors, that replace the stock flasher unit, so when the led blinks it actually blinks, so where would the flasher be??

      The load resistor goes in line with the bulb. With alot of newer bulbs, they come pre-soldered in place.

      You're looking for the flasher relay.
      I leased Pontiac Wave from September 2006 to August 2011.

      i am pretty sure it is in/behind the fuse block? but turn your turn signal on and listen for the clicking in the dash too.. it might be the relay beside the DRL relay closer to the firewall.

      If it is 10 leds in one housing, you only need 1.
