Help!! Turn Signal Problem

[Guest]

My turn signal went out, I checked to see if there may be any issues with the fuse, but none of the fuses were bad. The Hazard lights work, so i am assuming it is not the bulb. If anyone can help, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

According to my Haynes Repair Manual, there are three items in this circuit (at least for my '98); The fuses, the Flasher Relay block (which works both the turn signals and the hazard flash), and the multi-function switch (the turn signal/wiper-washer/high-low beam switch on the streering column).

If the hazards work, then the fuses and the relay is OK. You need to check the column multi-function switch, whcih is known to have some problems. I know mine did, but they mysteriously have cleared up.

Hope this helps.

I had the same problem before, I took my car to the dealer to change the turn signal itself because it wouldn't let me spray water on my winshield. After they fixed that problem I found is when you put the steering wheel down the signals don't work, and when its up they work. I pulled every fuse and went crazy, then I finally found out the problem.

there's a TSB for the multi-function switch...if you have any kind of warranty it should be covered

Just based on his description it sounds like he had wires pinching in the steering column. Does yours do the same thing by only working when moving the steering column?

Also Have you checked fuses? I feel like the left and right turn signals were on separate fuses but I could have that wrong. Owners manual would tell you.
