My turn signal (left and right) has decided to just stop working. The dash indicators don't work and the lights on the front and back of the vehicle don't work. The headlights, brake lights, and all other things in the car work fine. I have checked the main fuse box in the engine area, but can't find anything wrong. Any ideas?

There is another fuse box above the hood release inside, located on the driver's side dashboard. Pull the small coin box. Behind it is the fuse box.

On the reverse of the coin box is the diagram for which fuse is for the tail and turn signal.

The turn signal flasher is located in the relay block behind the drivers side kick panel

See the diagram below for location

The left turn signal flasher flashes super fast and the right turn signal flashes normal, I purchased the flasher for it, but I cant find where the old one is, since I dont have the manual, I looked in the engine compartment fuse box and under the steering wheel panel, I cant locate it, can you tell me where it is located on this car

Thank You

96,000 miles.

Last night, my turn lights simply stopped working. They were working well, and then suddenly nothing happened when the turn lever was flipped. There is no response on the light panel or in the actual lights themselves. I have checked the fuse, and it looks fine.

One answer on here seemed to indicate that it might be the signal light flasher, but it sounded like if that were the problem, there would be different symptoms. Also, if it is the signal light flasher, how can I locate it?

Thank you.

Do the symptoms sound like an car flasher problem? A friend of mine said that the blinkers were the first thing on her car that went as her alternator was going out. Does that sound possible?

(P.S. How does one give feedback/donations?)

The blinker flasher is what makes it blinks it turns it on and off constantly.

My car does not have turn signal at all. The fuse seems to be good, so I guess the flasher may not work. However, I could not remove the flasher to check. Could you please direct me how to remove the flasher and replace it? Thanks.

1) Using a tiny screwdriver, pry out lightly the "n" as shown in the red arrow just enough to release the flasher relay lock. Do this on both sides of the flasher relay. And then pull the flasher relay.

Electrical problem
1999 Toyota Camry 155563 miles

This is a problem that has happened in the past, "fixed" itself, then reappeared again. A couple of months ago I noticed that when the car was running both of my turn signals would not work at all. (You could not see outside, hear the clicking noise or see the turn light on in the inside) I took it to my mechanic and of course the signals worked just fine for them.(He did not charge me) They have worked ever since until yesterday. We thought at the time that maybe it wasn't really a problem because I hadn't driven the car for a couple of weeks and then the problem occurred. This time I was driving home when it happened and I've been driving the car everyday or every other day. The turn signals worked fine on the highway but at some point on the smaller roads home they stopped working at all. Right now the engine light (the one that signals a problem) is not showing although it was earlier. I was also told to ignore that light on this particular car because they think that the engine light is faulty. (We've taken it in before when it's on and there seems to be no problem each time) Can you help me figure out what is going on with my car and any approx. Repair costs to fix it? I would appreciate any help you give!

Hello -

To better assist you is your model the CE. LE, XLE, Solara SE or Solara SLE and what is your engine size in liter?

Please go to Auto Zone (AZ) or O'Reilly's (OR) and for FREE they can pull the codes to the car. Most important: Once they check your codes, if they find something and you don't get it fixed and need to get back with us, please make sure you tell us exactly what the code was, number and all. Example, if the code was E0568 O2 Sensor bad. Then make sure you give us all of that. While there for FREE also they can bring their tester out and check your battery and alternator.

We have both left and right turn signals going on when we signal to the left or right, (front and rear) It is just like when the hazard lights are on but it gets activated by the turn signal. No bulbs are out and nothing happened to the car to suddenly cause this. What should I check?

Flasher relay could cause this, if relay is OK then signal switch is at fault

Turn signals not working. Confirmed that it is not a problem with the relay. Was referred to a mechanic that specializes in electrical work. Just wondering what it might cost to fix the the turn signals. The hazards work still. Also windshield wipers not working not sure if it is a related problem.

First suspect is the flasher. Older cars used two different flashers, one to run half the signal lights on one side of the car and one to run all the lights on both sides. Turning on the hazards disconnects the signal lights from the turn signal flasher, which is why they stop flashing, and connects them to the hazard flasher circuit. Since the signals work, we know the bulbs and wiring are okay. That leaves the hazard light switch and the flasher.

Newer cars use an unnecessarily complicated electronic flasher that does both functions, but it has separate inputs from each switch. Failure of those units is much more likely than the uncommonly reliable older thermal flashers.
