Turn signals do not work when the weather is hot

Replace the turn signal flasher in the fuse panel. Or it's mounted on the base of the steering column just listen for the clicking.

Then you would have to replace the turn signal switch.

Happy to hear you got it repaired. Thank you for using 2CarPros!
