I checked my signal light fuse already and it's perfectly fine. What could it be?

ok i checked the hazard fuse and it was out, replaced it and now my hazards work but my signal lights still don't work.. PLUS i could turn on my car without pressing the clutch, wtf i didn't know that? is that normal...? i have a 1991 coupe with a blacktop sr20..

If the car was automatic before, then yeah thats probably the reason you can start the car without the clutch, if the hazards work now and not the signal lights, I would imagine the issue is in the combination switch on the steering column.

it could be the wires, or it could just be an old switch thats gone bad, call a friend with an S13 and throw his/her switch on your car just to test it.

Flasher, hazard switch, or combination switch could each or all be bad. Download FSM, perform regular diagnosis per instruction.

soo i found out and fixed the problem. The previous owner of the car hardwired the lights pretty wierd and one of my plugs was disconnected from my left side corner light which caused the hazards and turn signals fuse to blow. Thank you for your help!
