If your turn signals aren't working, the problem is more likely to be:
* A blown fuse related to the turn signals themselves: Check your owner's manual for the fuse box diagrams. Look for fuses labeled "turn signals," "left turn," "right turn," or similar.
* A faulty flasher module: This is the most likely culprit if your signals don't flash at all or flash rapidly. The location varies by year and model. You'll likely find it either under the dash (sometimes near the steering column) or in a fuse box. A Haynes or Chilton repair manual for your specific year and model would be the best resource to locate it.
* A problem in the turn signal switch: This is less common but possible.
* Burnt out bulbs: The simplest and cheapest possibility.
To troubleshoot:
1. Check the bulbs: Make sure all your turn signal bulbs are working.
2. Consult your owner's manual: Find the fuse box diagrams and check the fuses related to the turn signals.
3. If fuses are good: You'll likely need a repair manual to locate the flasher module and test it.
Don't assume it's a blown "flasher fuse" – that's not how modern cars usually work. The problem is likely one of the other components mentioned above.
