Hello,

The turn signal relay is located on the fuse box located on the left side of the kick panel on driver side (see diagram).

Do you hear any clicking noise when you activate the signal?
Does your hazard work?

First do a visual inspection of the relay. Check for corrosion or bunt pin(s). Many times the relay will fail internally.
You can also test the relays functionality:

I have attached diagrams for your reference.

Please let me know of any questions.

Thank you.
