Turn signal flasher

Do the hazard lights still work? The hazards have a separate flasher so if they do not work either than chances are it is not the flasher unit. The flasher is the most common culprit, but sometimes it may also be the signal switch on the column.

Yes, that is what I was suspecting as well. The flasher is always the cheapest and easiest route though. Need help replacing the switch? Just let me know and I can post replacement procedures for you.

Installation:
Installation is the reverse of removal but please note the following important steps.

Fasten the Torx head screws on the switch. Tighten the screws to 53 inch. lbs. (6 Nm).
Install the upper column cover and fasten the column bracket nuts. Tighten the nuts to 22 ft. lbs. (30 Nm).
Install the knee bolster and the steering column cylinder lock. Tighten the column cover Torx screws to 12 inch. lbs. (1.4 Nm).
Install the lower column cover and tighten the Torx screws 53 inch. lbs. (6 Nm).
Make sure the switch is in the off position and install the steering wheel. Refer to this section for this procedure.
Enable the SIR system (if equipped).

Removal of steering wheel:
Disconnect the battery ground cable.
On models equipped with a drivers side air bag, perform the following procedure:
Disable the Supplemental Restraint System (if equipped).
On all but 1996-1998 models equipped with a air bag, unfasten the screws at the rear of the steering wheel.
On 1996-1998 models equipped with a air bag, turn the steering wheel 90 ° to access the rear shroud holes to the inflator module. Insert a screwdriver in the holes and push the leaf spring to release the pin. Turn the steering wheel 180 ° to access the remaining shroud holes and using the screwdriver, release the remaining pins.
Tilt the inflator module rearward from the top to access the wiring. Tag and unplug the lead wire from the clip on the module, the lead wire from the clip on the steering wheel and the Connector Position Assurance (CPA) and retainer from the module.
If not equipped with a drivers side air bag, remove the horn pad or button cap and disconnect the horn wires.

Mark the steering wheel-to-steering shaft relationship.
If equipped, remove the snapring from the steering shaft.
Remove the nut from the steering shaft.

Warning:
Don't hammer on the steering shaft!

Remove the steering wheel with a puller.

Installation of steering wheelL:

Sounds like a turn signal switch problem.

Try to work the hazard button stem several times or more, sometimes that flushes out and helps support the bad switch theory. It still sounds like a t/s switch prob. Is there power getting to the rear brake lights?

Check your email for diagrams. This is not a computer thing. You need to have a test light to find where the power stops when the brake pedal is pressed.

Check the brake switch at the brake pedal bracket there's gonna be 2 wires on it jumping this 2 wires together will cause the light to come On. If not the its not getting power-if so adjust the brake switch. After adjusting it properly and still doesn't come on its defective
