Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Turn Signals Inoperative
Turn on hazard system, if all lights operate, inspect for blown turn signal fuse or defective flasher. If fuse is open, check for shorts between fuse and lamps. If turn signal fuse and flasher are satisfactory, check wire terminals in harness connector for continuity and power feed to and from switch. To determine if switch is bad, connect a known good switch in column to chassis connector and operate switch by hand. If signals now operate, replace switch.
