    Turn Signal not working

    I have a '88 325 vert.

    They used to work most of the time but now its really gone. Hazard switch works on dash and outside.

    Any idea? I thought it could be the relay but I can hear i clicking when the hazards are on. I checked the connections and every wire looks intact. Bad stalk?

    Thank in advance.

    Most Likely it is the stalk if the hazards still function

      That's what I thought. I'll double check again when I get my car back from being repainted.

        had the wrong bulbs in there after i got my car from paint, and the guys at the shop put the wrong ones in. The lights were all over the place. Put the right ones in and fixed the prob.

        Check turn signal relay too. That has been a culprit in the past for me as well

          Check fuses
          Check turn signal relay and check the turn signal switch on steering column.
          The same exact thing happened to me, hazards worked, ended up being the switch.

            If all four lights flash with the hazard switch, the turn signal switch is bad or there is a problem with the wiring under the column. Start with a new turn signal switch.
            The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

              On-topic threadjack: if my right side signals work fine, and my left rear signal works but my front signal simply stays on and does not flash, would that be a bulb?

                I think it could be the relay now. When the car is cold the turn signal works perfect but when the car is warm it stops working.

                Make sure you have 7528 bulb in there. Try to swap the light bulbs to see if it works
