Indicator lights not working

I was driving around for a while last night when I noticed both indicator lights stopped working when I try to indicate. I looked at it this morning and saw the "turn" fuse was blown, tried replacing that and still didn't work. Relays are completely fine too because hazards come on with no problem even after trying it with the blinker relay. Anyone have any idea what it could be?

Re: Indicator lights not working

Check your bulbs. Also, it could be "in"the steering column, there is a relay/switch inside the column that may have gone bad. Kind of a PITA to get to and you'll need a steering wheel puller to get the steering wheel off/back on. Replace all your turn signal relays and fuses also.

Re: Indicator lights not working

I think it must be the relay in the column because the indicator lights come on when I put the hazards on (turned out to only be a blown fuse for the hazards) do you have a picture of what the relay looks like? thanks
