Contacts in the "turn switch" (the stick you move to turn on signals) wear out. The contacts in the 4way switch are almost unused.

The turn and hazard litses share the same flasher, I would check the the lights by turning on the hazards then walk around the car checking that each light flashes the same brightness, do the same thing using the turn signals if a light is dim or not flashing the switch or the wire between the switch and the lamp is bad. I hope this helps. Take care.

SOURCE: where do I add tranmission fluid on a 96 geo prizm

If you do not see a dip stick then you will have to look under the car, it will be a 17mm inset nut, have the car running in N when putting the fluid in

SOURCE: 96 Ford Taurus no turn signals or hazards

Take the turn signal lever and jiggle it, a lot. If they start working, the switch is bad. You can also turn on the hazards and take hold of the button and push it left , right , forward and back and see if they start working. If so, replace the turn signal/ hazard switch.

SOURCE: 1993 Geo Prizm turn signals

You have a bad turn signal switch if the hazards work and the turn signals do not. It has nothing to do with the fuse or the flasher unit. Your switch is bad or you have a bad connection some where.

SOURCE: 1990 geo prizm brake lights only work when car is off

Some vehicles only allow the brake lights to work when the ignition is turned on and control this via a relay which may have failed so the function is reversed allowing them to work only with the ignition off. Relays can 'weld' their contacts together causing them to become non-operational.Check in the central (if so equipped) fuse/relay box; if you are lucky the cover will have a diagram of the fuses and relays.If so, locate the relay for brakes, check the part number on it, exchange it with the same part number from a different function and try (while parked) to see if this has cured the problem by turning the ignition on, tapping the brake pedal to see if they now respond.If so, the original brake relay is bad.

Cant find location of flasher relay on a 1995 geo prizm

The flasher unit located usually under the drivers side dash is probably the issue if the turn signal or hazard lights wont work.

Hope this helps; also keep in mind that your feedback is important and I`ll appreciate your time and consideration if you leave some testimonial comment about this answer.

I have 1993 geo prizm that the turn lights won't work, but the hazards and stop light do.

Inside the turning light bulb there is total of TWO electrical lighting wires (filaments).
One of the two wire inside the bulb is broken.
You need to replace the bulb.

1993 Geo Prizm turn signals dont work. Hazard lights DO work. Checked fuse several times & its ok. Any suggestions?

You have a bad turn signal switch if the hazards work and the turn signals do not. It has nothing to do with the fuse or the flasher unit. Your switch is bad or you have a bad connection some where.

Turn signal

The wire under the hazard button has probably come loose. Most GMC vehicles this year range were made with a closed circuit wiring between the flashers, hazard lights, and rear defrost. Over time the wiring under the hazard button has been known to loosen. This causes the whole system to lose function. If pop out the hazard button on you center console you should be able to tighten that wire back on and the system should work again.
The same thing happened to me when I put in a new radio. I bumped the wires off and my blinkers, rear defrost, and hazard lights went out. I replaced the fuses and the flasher relay but nothing. Then I asked a mechanic and he told me what I just told you.
Hope it helps!
