Blinkers not working, I've been told it's the relay?

So my blinkers are not working when I turn them on, my hazards aren't either.

I've been told it's the relay and the relay is in the hazard signal switch as well. Is that correct? If so I need to order one asap! I hate driving w/o blinkers and it's freakin dangerous!

dumb question but did you check the fuse? USE A DMV, looking isnt good enough sometimes. if you did and its good use get a flasher relay, its located under the steering column.

I've checked that already. No fuses out, it comes in and out on my car. So it's the flasher relay and it's located under theh steering column and not in the middle where the radio is located where the hazard signal is?

Now the real question is if it's the flasher relay or my hazard switch...

well, does it do the same thing when you use the turn signal? if so then its your flasher

[Mike325]

The hazards and the turn signals both use the same flasher relay.

The hazards and the turn signals both use the same flasher relay.

Nothing will work if the hazard switch isnt working

i think the circut is like this:

Turn signal lever, hazard switch, relay, blinkers

I would think it's the flasher, as the hazard switch should fail in one position or the other.

See attached drawings.....

It was the flasher relay.

I picked one up from Patrick at BMA and thank goodness I live 2 states from him. Got it yesterday threw it on today after work and shazzzam! My blinkers are now working and I feel much safer :)
