No Turn Signals or Hazards



I posted this on rx7club.com with no luck..Heres the deal.....



I have parking lights and head lights, all that works fine but no turn signals or hazards. When I goto turn them on I dont even get a clicking sound or the little arrow indicator on my dash....just dead..same with the hazard button. I tore about the steering column and nothing looks stupid (but thats hard for me to tell)



I just tore apart the ceneter console in search of something being wacky with the hazard button and nothing was out of place





I checked all the fuses under the dash (twice) and none of them are shot (even though I dont know which one is which)...I checked the TNS and tried a different one (the one sitting right next to it thats blue, hope that wasnt a bad move) and it helped nothing...





The car does have a turbo timer...but the install seems legit and not a hack job.....any ideas....going nuts......

I had this exact same problem recently. I found a bad fuse under the dash...it was an odd one though, like the radio



Did you get a clicking from the relay underneath the drivers side dash or what?



If you don't, get that replaced first. I put my hand on mine and felt it clicking(I just didn't have any lights on the dash or outside the car)

It is without a doubt a fuse that blew.

You will just have to spend the 30 min to check them all.

No need for a current tester man, just pull them out one at a time and check them

Dont make it harder than it is.

no clicking..... probably means the relay is dead
