Re: Turn signals & Hazards are out

Hmm. You got me curious enough to go out and check mine - sure enough, there's none listed. I didn't see one in the fuse panel. So I turned on the ignition and hit the turn signals. It seems like the click-clicking (the relay that produces the sound) is actually coming from somewhere in the steering column, or close to it. Perhaps it's part of the turn signal switch itself.

Re: Turn signals & Hazards are out

I've had the same problem. I replaced both the switch and the flasher, and I still have a problem. If it doesn't work, I can push on it with my fingers (I have the bottom piece of the column off) and it will work. Then it will stop working again, unless I push it with my fingers. WTF?

Re: Turn signals & Hazards are out

ok before I order the switch I noticed something last night. I went out to get in my car and when I grabbed the handle my alarm went off. the turn signals started flashing, the horn on the passenger qp went off and side markers were flashing. no big deal i just unlocked the door and was good to go. But since those are flashing then it can't be a relay or fuse. But my aren't the hazards on a different switch? Cause those don't work when I hit the switch and neither do my turns. So should I order the switch or not?

ahhh, you beat me to it rechecking this thread.

no that means its your relays that are out. your alarm works off a seperate set of relays [2 brown ones between the glove box and passenger wall, ontop of the PCM and the control lock/alarm assembly box].

they work seperately/in-addition to your L/R turn signals and hazzards.... I should know, I intricately removed it from my wireharness this weekend... big thanks for jaged for testing this before I started cutting.

so ya, replacing the relays will fix your problem.

NO! those are the relays for the alarm.. you have proven those work as expected. I dont know the relays exactly that you need to replace, but the owners manual should be clear about it.

Re: Turn signals & Hazards are out

oh. ok. well the owners manual doesn't list any relays for the turnsignals or the hazards. Just two fuses one in the car and one under the hood both of those are good.
