    Turn signals not working

    Yesterday my turn signals were working just fine. but today, theyre not blinking and you cant hear the clicking inside. i looked at the fuse and it wasnt blown, but i replaced it just incase and it still didnt work. How do i fix it?

          You may want to get in contact with Funkmasta because he is currently selling all sorts of switches. It's likely that either your relay is dead, or your switch has gone bad, which explains the absence of clicks noises and lights. I'd check your relay first, then replace the switch.

              When you guys say relay, do you mean flasher? Because I don't think there is a relay in the turn signal wiring.

                      Under the lower panel of the steering column. Pull it lay on your back, and it will be right in front of your ugly ass face.

                          I have a similar problem.

                          My left front turn signal isn't connected so I've had the quick flashing left signal for a while. When I installed my euro elips, all of a sudden the turn signal stopped working. It still clicks fast and blinks in the cabin, but no blinking in the back. Lightbulb looks fine but I'm going to replace it anyhow. Haven't checked fuses will tonight. Just discovered this a couple days ago.
