Turn Signals not working – where to start?

Post by CLudwig »

Hi guys, so none of my turn signals work.

None of the 4 turn signal lights work.
The dash indicator lights for the turn signals don’t work.
It’s not a fuse.

Where do I go from here? Any ideas where I should check next?

My dash indicators worked but not the signals. I ended up that the bulbs were caked with dirt. After properly cleaning and using dielectric grease all was well with mine.

Also pay special attention to cleaning the ground wires for the signals and back up lights. Without a proper ground things don't work very well.

My hazard button is broken and held in with a pin, it’s possible that this is the problem.
Do you know where I should look for the electrical junction for the hazard? Perhaps I can bypass it for now?

Here is a link to a wireing pdf file. Maybe it will you track the problem down.

Great link thanks for that!

If my flasher module was bad would that cause the problem I'm running into?

If i had to guess, i would say that your hazzard switch may not be in the correct position. I would turn on the turn signals and play with the hazzard switch. You might find that in the correct position you turns start to work. Give that a try.

if you cant get a new one quick you can try puting a jumper wire from
#4 white to #6 violet from the pdf posted above
that should give power to the turn signals

only the best of intentions
hope this helps
