Hello, I'm Danny.

First, have you checked the fuses? It is located under hood on the left side. Here is a link showing how to test fuses:

I've attached a picture of the under hood fuse box and circled the fuse in red. Hope this helps and feel free to ask any questions if needed.Thanks for using 2CarPros.

When you turn the signals or flashers on, do the lights turn on and not blink or does nothing happen?

Hi Nelson and welcome back:

I'm a bit confused. The heading indicates turn signal issues. Post 1 says headlights work. The last one says no headlights. I'm not sure what we are dealing with. Can you confirm so I know what to have you check?

Thanks and I hope you had a nice Holiday,
Joe

Okay, if the fuse is good and you have power to the fuse, the next thing that needs check is if there is power to the flasher. Take a look at the schematic I attached. It indicates wiring color. You need to make sure power is getting to the flasher and then out of the flasher. Basically, power comes from the fuse, through the flasher, and then to the switch which distributes its destination. The three pictures I attached show the flow of power through these components. The third picture is a legend of ground locations and components.

To trace or check power, you simply will need a test light. Here is a link that shows how one is used. If you didn't check for power at the fuse, use the test light to check.

Let me know if this helps or if you have other questions.

Take care,
Joe
