View Full Version : Quick question about turn signal flasher.

Before I go replace this thing in the hope of fixing my lack of signals (read the write up on the wiring)...

If the signal flasher relay was dead, would my hazards not work either? Because my hazards show up on the instrument panel with two green arrows, works no problem. However, when I use turn signals, nothing happens, no arrows, nothing. Was just wondering if that's possible to be a relay problem.

Thanks.

Well that depends on your car, you didn't specify. Some cars have a separate relay for the hazards and turn signals.

could be the flasher or combo switch

Just changed the flasher, and the turn signal stalk (brand spanking new from nissan), still got the same problem.

When I turn the hazards on, the lights flash, the dash arrows flash, rear hazards flash, perfect.

But when I turn on the turn signals left or right, nothing comes on. No arrows on dash, no sound, no lights... I'm stumped.

sounds like you have deeper problems with the wiring.
