Default Turn Signals

Need some help please. When I activate my turn signal, either for the left or the right indicator, I get a buzzing from what seems to be just behind the radio and no flash or turn signal lights come on at all. Anyone know if there is a relay of some sorts in the dash that may have gone bad?

Any insight or assistance is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Darren

Sounds like the Hazard switch has gone bad. It doubles as the flasher for the signals. Look in the DIY sticky thread for a DIY bypass otherwise you have to replace the hazard switch.

The flasher/hazard gizmo is electronic and combined into one unit right behind the flasher button area. The flasher side usually fails and leaves only the hazards working. Time to do the bypass mod. It is very easy to do and you will be happy you did it.
