Default Need help!!!!! signals not working!!!

My left or right signal isn't working at all. Hazard switch works. I replaced it with a new one thinking it would fix the problem but no luck. I got the bypass fix today thought it might work then installed it and still nothing. Everything on the signal lever works head lights parking lights high beams work. I bought the bypass to help out with hyper flashing from my led tail lights. No fuse is blown at all in the car that I can find. I have checked all of them. I even tried the hazard light switch pressing that in and out like 30 times still nothing. Anyone with any other ideas that might help before I send it off to the dealership??

Did you test Fuse 15 in the I/P fuse box and not just look at it? If you don't now how to test it then put a known good fuse in that location.

I tested the fuse it was good. I'm getting no power from the signal lever to where u plug in the bypass fix so I'm thinking it the lever that is bad but everything else on the lever works fine.

Normally when both signals do not work it is the Hazard switch. Here is the schematic. Power goes via the Hazard switch to the MF switch and not the other way around.

I would see if power is getting to the MF switch. If it is then the MF switch should be the culprit.

The wire you want to check is the only Purple wire going to the MF connector. It lands on cavity D. If you need the connector view also let me know.

Connector view please this problem has me so confused. I have checked to see if I'm getting power from the purple wire and the orange wire when the ignition is on and off but still now power. I know the Orange wire should be hot when the key is on but nothing

There is NO Orange wire involved in the turn signals.

The Pink wire feeds the Hazard flasher and the Purple feeds the MF switch.

I know you have a Hyperflash Bypass but that does not change things.

If you can't read schematics maybe we should talk on the phone. You can PM me with your number if you like.

Here is the MF connector view. It is C209.

If you have no power to the Pink wire then you have an issue between there and the Fuse Box.

I would do a continuity check from Fuse 15 to the Pink wire at the Hazard switch.

What you are saying makes no sense.

Power up to the fuse is the Pink wire. You say it has power and then you say it doesn't?

If you are checking for power in the Purple wire I certainly hope you know you have to have the turn signals on to test.
