Our 2000 Chevy Impala has a problem with the turn signal not working sporadically which seems to be affected by moisture/rain. When I say sporadic I mean during the same day it may or may not work at any given moment - sometimes I'm at a light and it is working then it just stops...sometimes if I manually switch it up and down it will start to work. (am I really doing anything or is it just starting to owrk on it's own?. I recently "inherited" this car from my hubby and I noticed when it rained heavily there was a thin but evident stream of water coming from behind the dash which then puddled (soaked the carpet) on the passenger side floor. So I am wondering first how to seal up that leak - is it the window itself that is not sealed properly? Where do we look and what are we looking for? And second is there a connection for the turn signals in that area which could be the source of our problem? ALSO though...one can see moisture condensation inside the right front turn signal/headlamp assembly...again how to seal, where to look?
I'll thank you in advance for advice. Just call me clueless...unfortuately also broke or I'd just pay someone to fix it!

First off have you tried putting a new flasher in it..... they are cheap and alot of the time will fix your problem.. your window seal maybe leaking not much you can do yourself thats for a glass shop to deal with. as for the signal lens remove it from the car visually inspect for rockchips if you find one it may have a small pin hole in it... get out the seal all or super bond.wouldnt hurt to also drill a couple 1/8th hole in the very lowest spot on the bottomof the lens to allow the watwer to run out should you not be able to find the leak.... good luck
