what is happening???

3 days ago when I started the car ALL 4 turning signal lamps lit up and stayed lighted.
I stopped the engine and took of the key, they remain lighted!!
After about one hour they all shut down and since then they are not working!!!
I checked the fuse: OK
I tried to find out if all this was coming from a faulty relay but there is no relay controlling the turning signals on the H3.....
I checked the bulbs: they are OK

any idea of what is going on???

If it was me, I would reset the computer.  Make sure that all the bulbs are ok now.

How do you ''reset'' the computer?

Bonjour mon ami Jean-Michelle... Content de voir votre un ré bien de nouveau...
 
Disconnect the battery posts Positive(+) first, then the Negitive(-)..touch both cable end together for about a minute..then reconnect o the battery in rverse order..Negitive first.
 
That will reset the computer.

Well crap!..I'm at a loss now...maybe more serious that I thought...Maybe our new transplant from the Dark forum F5Fstop, can shed some of his worldly GM knowledge on the subject...I'm surpised he hasn't already, he seems to know everything GM..

I moved this thread here....me thinks someone in the know will see it now.

Good idea

I think the lights are controlled by the bcm...might need to get it checked

What is a BCM?..is this the PCM ?

Thanks Shorty...Good to hear from you too

Disconnect the pos first?  I don't think so.  The neg is to be disconnected first, and last when reconnecting.  That way the battery will not spark.  Which is important if there are any battery fumes and ya don't wanna blow the battery up in your face.

You're right my mistake...I had a cranial-anal inversion

I spoke with HUMMER France this morning.
The turning signals as well as all the other lights, except the headlights (?) are controlled by the, so called, BCM wich is located behind the glove box.(thanks Mike!!!)
They have experienced a few problem with this BCM on various H3 and the only solution is to replace the bloody thing.
They don't have the part, obviously, and they have to order it to GM Europe.
3 weeks delays!!!
Since the car is not anymore sreet legal, without turning signals, I can't drive it until its fixed up.
DAMN AMERICAN CARS.(that's for Mike)
Can't they just use relay and fuse???

There's a HUMMER FRANCE?????
 
I guess so they can RETREAT over any terrain!!!
