Turn signal help

When I turn use my turning signal switch nothing happens. It clicks into place but nothing happens.

Any help would be appreciated.

Re: Turn signal help

If the light comes on, but just sits with the turn light on, it's just the flasher.

I wish that was the case. But nothing happens. No lights at all.

Re: Turn signal help

have you checked your bulbs? probably not the problem if none of them work, but start with the cheap and easy. then there is the fuse box. after that it's time to start chasing wires. good luck.

If the TURN-B/U FUSE is good put the key in the RUN position.

See if you’re getting voltage at the
PURPLE wire exiting the turn flasher.

Report findings as necessary.


Happy Racing!

When you see fog or “running” lights on in good weather beware. Low performance driver ahead.

How bout those nitwits too scared to drive without headlights in the daytime, and the nitwits that need headlights for a little rain

Alright. What is a b/u fuse and where is it located. Also where is the purple wire (where is the turn flasher?)

thanks

The TURN-B/U FUSE passes power to the turn signals, backup lamps, plus another circuit.

The turn signal flasher is located inside the “Convenience Center”. To gain access to the turn signal flasher, it might be necessary to remove the knee bolster. The convenience center, located to the left of the steering column, should swing down.

In my Camaro, the turn signal flasher is NEAR the convenience center. There is a space, next to the hazard flashers, with no connectors. It drove me crazy. I eventually reached up the the convenience center, and found the turn signal flasher mounted by a simple clip.

The turn signal flasher is a can about 1” by 1”.

It can be any color, metal or plastic, when you unplug it you will see the 2 blade terminals.
