Hello,

This could be a problem with your vehicle's Turn/BU Fuse #2 of the I/P fuse panel which is located behind the left side of the dash. In the diagrams down below I have included a wiring diagram of your vehicle's Exterior Lighting Circuits as well as a diagram and callout of your vehicle's I/P Fuse Panel. Here is a link for you to go to, if needed, for how to check a fuse.

Please go through these diagrams and get back to us with what you are able to find out.

Thanks,
Alex

Right blinker doesn't work all the time...sometimes just the light will go on but not blink. Occasionally it happens on the left side as well but not as often. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
John

John,
It sounds like you have a bad flasher. It is under the dash near the steering column. Try that to see if that fixes your problem. It is a cheap part.

Your turn signals are on a different fuse from the hazard lights. Check the fuse its the 20 amp one on the top row.

check fuse #2 (20 amp)if that fuse and the signal switch and bulbs are good along with relay flasher than it must be a wiring issue, that is all thats left on the signal circuit.

My inside indicator lights are not lighting up when using my turn signal. Also flashers are not working. Check the bulbs and they were good, checked fuse -OK , replaced flasher, still not working. Lights working on outside just not showing on dash panel lights? Flashers not working at all inside or out.

No the interior lights do not work with the flashers, I spoke to a friend who is a mechanic and he thinks I have a ground problem. I am still looking into that. Thanks for your help.

I have agree with him unless one went out then a couple days later, the other one did the same.

Let me know what you find and if you have other questions.
