turn signals/hazards no workie.
So before I went to Iraq in February, my hazards didn't work but my signals worked fine... Just got back 2 weeks ago, drove for about 3 days then my turn signals went out also. I checked every bulb, all filaments are fine. I replaced the flasher unit relay. I have tried between the two hazard switches I have, nothing. It is driving me insane. I completely disassembled a switch and cleaned it out, the factory grease was dirty, assembled and still nothing. I flip flopped the bulb in the hazard switch so that it lit up and still nothing. I checked the turn signal bulbs in the dash, they are fine. If I slightly engage the hazard switch just enough for the metal to make a connection, I can hear, and i put my hand on the flasher relay to verify, makes a small click, but nothing.
California highways are not a safe place to just have arm signals, someone please help so I can drive my car!!!!! cliffs.gif mad.gif Oh, and I verified that every fuse in the kick panel and under the hood are fine. |
Check fuses?

yep, unless there are hidden fuses. Are there??? I'll try about anything at this point. Almost ready to use a multimeter to do point to point continuity. |
So, just to clarify you replaced the flasher and turn signal relays?
|
Can you check for voltage, either in the power wire or before the fuse? That might be a starting to point to see where the power cut off is at.

I just printed some schematics off of hmaservice. I'll do some wire checking when i get off work. I'm sure I can answer my own question when I investigate in a few hours but, besides the flasher unit relay, are there seperate relays for the turn sigs? |
I had to replace one, I think there were two, one for the hazards and one for the turn signals...but I am not 100% sure on that actually...

i pulled the 3-prong hazard flasher relay out and got 12 somethin volts when i flipped the blinker lever on either direction with no volts in the middle position, i switched the negative multimeter lead to the third point and i got 12 volts with the hazard switch... aggravated beyond measure. |
I wonder if a plug in the wiring harness has come loose?

my model/year doesn't have a bcm does it? i couldnt find any info on one for it.... i'll go try to double check connections.... |
You should be able to supply voltage to the output from the flasher unit and light the bulb unless there's a wiring issue or it's routed through the multifunction switch like on a GM.

equally as frustrating.... out of shear curiosity i plugged my factory flasher unit in... the signals worked!!! the hazards still don't work and stop the signals from working when engaged, but I don't care. the new one i got was the same voltage, some other specs must have been out of tolerance... Must have did something right after i got the new flasher. oh well, i am so glad this adventure is over, for now. Some day i will pursue the hazard issue. I am off to get some dominoes chicken kickers and a six pack of corona partytime.gif ... |
Glad you got the turn signals working at least. smile.gif
