It does it all the time, however it flashes normal speed when the hazards are on. And what did you mean by the multi function switch? the actual stalk?


Check the flasher relay, u may not have individual fuses anymore but even the 2017 Cruze has a flasher relay. Mine was under the dash right below the steering column on the left side.

I don't know about the 2017, but my memory of the 2013 schematic shows all the bulbs are driven directly by the BCM. The stalk just feeds commands to it. The clicking noise is created by the radio on commands found on the car's data bus. One way this becomes obvious is when using the 4-way flasher. With the car running, turn on the hazards. Now, turn off the car and open the door, killing the radio. What happens to the click? On my car, it disappears.

A 2005 is probably closer to a 1970's car in the way the lights are wired. If it's the kind of car where the brake lights do double-duty as a turn signal, then the stalk has to disconnect the brake line on that side to change the brake light to a turn signal. Lots of switch contacts. If that switch fails to connect, the lights don't work right and you can get hyperflashing.


That's my fear as well. But might as well try the cheap things first. I do seem to remember having a old bulb that didn't draw the right current and causing flashing problems. Bulbs are cheap, so it's worth a shot.
Good point mine is a 2012 so that's probably y mine still has the relay, and I'm not too familiar with the newer ones as I like my car so haven't thought about looking into a new one. But I think one of the service techs at chevy told me the 17 had a flasher relay, I may be wrong could have been a diff car he was talking about but since we were on the subject of the Cruze I may have just connected them together.
