Org, I think I have a rare problem here with my indicator system. When I signal to turn, it works normal and at random, it turns off and stops working. This occurs when I signal left, right, or turn on the hazard switch. I would hit the dash or the steering column and it would start back working briefly and then go back out. Is this a tired relay that needs replacing? If so, where is it located or someone guide me in the right direction.

Mine did this for the first time last night. I turned my turn signal on and it didn't even blink. It just turned the dashboard arrow light on and never worked. I didnt know what I did to make it work again, but I was so confused. I'm not an electrical guy, so anyone else with input would be so helpful.

Try an new hazard switch?
Maybe swap out the flasher under the dash..?

Is there a diagram of the circuit in the FSM? Rather narrow it down to the exact problem instead of changing random parts. I can try the hazard switch though since I already have a spare one.

Of course. There's not a circuit in the vehicle not described in the bible:

^^Jesus.....I think I am going to start with the hazard switch. I would have never imagined the circuit for that was so complex. Also M34 (Combination Flasher Unit) may be a point of interest. Where is that located?

OP - replace the flasher relay under the dash.

I do. It's under the steering column above teh drive's right knee. Little cube with three prongs, like an electrical outlet

Thanks man. I will go and look for it and see if I can get it swapped out. I will update and take a pic once I get a replacement.

if a new flasher relay doesn't work, I'd look to the actual turn signal switch next.

Says Nabco on it and has its own mounting bracket held in by a 10mm.
It is a lot easier to unplug if you unbolt it.

Just to update the thread, I ordered the part from dealer which was service filed with a redesigned part and the bracket had to be swapped. Here is the photo of parts ordered.



The new unit is smaller then original and after installing, it is a little quieter when signaling. So far, it is working but will not know for sure until I do a highway trip. Will keep you guys posted.
