Check the bulbs first to see if they work if you have changed themulti function switch then it's probably the flasher check fuses in central junction box first though. If it's the flasher it's the hazard switch

Look at the passenger fuse panel, the top row fifth from the left is probably blown

Flasher/Turn signal relay-

Take the plast cover off the steering column between the steering wheel and the dash. It should be located right on top or on the side.

My flasher will not stop "clicking". My turn signal works fine but the audible click will not stop. I was told it could either be electrical or the flasher itself. If it is electrical how do I repair it. How can I further diagnose the problem.

I would suggest first testing the relay. Remove it and follow our steps on testing electrical relays found in our "how to" section.

If the turn signal (multifunction) switch is smoking then you will need to inspect the wiring to the switch and, most likely, replace the switch.

Check both the ignition switch to make sure it isn't out of adjustment and check the multi-function switch on the steering column.
