First Check out your light bulbs to see if they are fused.

Then check the fuse box underneath the dash and steering column, to check for any fuses for the turning signals. You could have a wiring fuse blown out. Your owner's manual should have the diagram for the fuse box.

If it's not a blown bulb, just change out your turn signal relay. It's under the dash, about in line with your gas pedal. Take off the plastic cover under the steering column and you can get to it pretty easy. This usually fixes the turn signal problem.

Yeah, replace the flasher relay, that should fix it.

Come on guys, the G.D bulb is blown. Replace the bulb with a 3157LL found at any parts store, wal-mart, K-mart......I guarentee this will fix the problem. It will only set you back less than $5.00
Dont worry about the falsher or any other crap. Change the bulb and if its not that, its set U back short money, then attempt the latter.

I agree w chappie, and you may want to check your rear brake light too... That happened to me, and it turns out my tail light (or turn signal? i dont really remember) was out. That fixed the problem, but I eventually also replaced the relay (~$19, if i remember correctly).

Well we both told him to check the bulb first, then to move on to other procedures if the problem existed[&:]

I know, but I meant ALSO check the rear... Like... if the front is fine, the issue is in the rear.

Mine does this randomly. They will stay lit, not flash or make any noise. If i give the dash a good smack when it does this, it starts working again... lol
