I click my indicator stick down so I can tell other people what I am planning on doing, but when I do it doesn't tick or show anywhere outside-whether I am taking a left or right- that I want to turn, there is only a little green light that just stays there as long as the indicator stick is indicating which way I'm turning. It used to flash when I was turning but it just stopped working. Where in the vehicle would I find the cords to connect something or just to look at it, and what would I do to fix it?

Start by checking for any non-working bulbs. If a bulb is burned out, not enough current will flow to heat up the flasher and make it work.

Fuse #17 is for the flasher relay and the turn signal switch.

Find the fuse box under the dash and count the fuses from left to right until you find #17.

The flasher relay is in position number 6 of the relay panel (above the fuses).
Second row of relays (above the fuses) at the end on the right side.
