Thread: Hazards and Brakes work, turn signals do not

    Do the hazard lights come on both with the key turned on AND without the key turned on? Hazards are supposed to be fed with an always on power source while the turn signals through the wiper stalk switch are only fed with switched power via the ignition.

    Do your horns work?

    Okay, sorry I fell asleep last night.

    Anyway, The turn signals are on a separate feed from the hazards.

    Fuse 4 is for turn signals, check it.
    Fuse 6 is for Hazards

    You can use your test light to check the fuse vis touch points. Key ON.

    Horns work according to first post.

    To OP

    Refer to the individual system schematics in the First post here.

    All Wiring Schematics
    https://r.tapatalk.com/shareLink?sha...0&share_type=t

    Compare the directional indicators schematic too the hazard circuit schematic further down the post.

    As you will see the hazard circuit bypasses the directional stalk switch.

    This tells me you either have a blown fuse 4 or poor connection at the fuse(assuming you have 12v on one side of the fuse, key ON). Or other possibilities poor connection into the back of the Hazard switch. After that you have LG/N wire feed to the stalk switch itself. Check connectors and if possible do a continuity check of the appropriate pin locations of the switch side connector. Move switch up/down to verify contacts internal to the switch.

    If the hazards work the problem is probably the turn switch, the wiring, or the plugs to it. Make sure all of the connectors on the plugs are making good connections, ie, none are "backed out" and not making contact.

    Sorry for the late reply, I feel kind of stupid but it did in fact end up being the contacts inside the hazard switch. I took the switch apart, cleaned them up, and the indicators worked perfectly. The pictures helped a lot for eliminating other potential issues. Thanks!

    Glad to here you got diagnosed and fixed. At least you you didn’t need to spend any money on a replacement switch.
