Turn signals stay on but hazards work

Post by fmacnak »

Hey guys, new problem. So I haven't driven my bonnie for a few months. I get in and go to use the turn signals and the lights stay on. I tried the flashers and they work fine so I don't think it's a bulb. Not sure if someone has some ideas.

The turn signal flasher is seperate from the 4 way flasher. So the turn one went bad. They're both located under the driver's side dash.

Did you go outside the car and check if the hazards actually flash? It's been a while, but I thought a non-flashing turn signal could mean a bulb was burnt out.

Hi, I did walk around the cat and all the bulbs wereally flashing. I'll replace the turn signal flasher under the dash. Thanks, I didn't know that existed.

You might want to swap the turn flasher to the 4 way and make sure the problem follows.
