Indicators do not work
they suddenly stopped working yesterday
I cant find the relay or fuse
use box is does not describe indicator circuit
Any help much appreciated
your fuse box is located under the hood. it should be under a black plastic coveryour fuse box is located under the hood. it should be under a black plastic cover
Hi, After further investigation I find that the "Hazards" fuse has blown in the fuse box under the steering wheel on RHS. Replacing the 10 amp fuse it just blows again. No obvious signs of a short but space and vision is limited. I have removed the casings around the steering wheel and around the fuse box - nothing obvious. I know I should not do this but 15 amp fuse just blows, 20amp does not blow. with 20amp in place indicators each side do not work but hazards do then operate. The rear passenger side indicator does not light but bulb has been tested and is ok. Quickly removed 20 amp fuse as there was smell warmed wiring!! Any ideas please Regards JohnHi, After further investigation I find that the "Hazards" fuse has blown in the fuse box under the steering wheel on RHS. Replacing the 10 amp fuse it just blows again.

The battery light flashing is an indication of an intermittent short. The intermittancy seems to be caused by a "hung" relay or a partially welded relay that is not releasing its contacts. Try going to the relay and fuse box under the hood and pulling one relay at a time to see if the observed action stops. If it does, replace the faulty relay. If not go to the fuse box under the dashboard and do the saqme thing!
cud also be a module or switch--or wiring bad--getta repair manual for troublshoot details and locations of components------relays are often under the hood
If this is not working on the right side and is OK on the left side then one of the indicator lamps on the right side has blown out. The reduced load on the right hand indicators causes the flasher can to flash faster. Try turning on the hazard switch then walk around your car to see which lamp has blown out.
The indicators have a few components in their system, being:
The indicator switch
The Flasher Unit/Relay
The fuse & wiring
The bulbs
The Hazard light switch.
If the hazard switch is broken or disconnected it will stop the indicators from working, so you could check that.
You can check the indicator fuse, which should be labeled on the fuse cover. If it is blown, there is likely a fault that has caused it to blow, more often than not a problem with the trailer hitch or a trailer that has been towed.
The next culprit is the flasher unit. They are usually found in the fuse area, it is a black box, looks much like a relay, but slightly taller. If this is faulty it will cause the indicators to either stay on without flashing, or not work at all. You can check this by disconnecting it, and connecting a test light to the terminals, one at a time while working the indicator stalk (key on) If the light lights up then this confirms the switch is okay, and the flasher is likely faulty.
hi...
there is a relay which connects turn indicator and the emergency flashers which is provided for the timing of the flash.this timer relay may got burnt or damaged. even though the fuses are OK the turn indicators wont work. please check this.
please rate me weather the information which i provided was usefukll to you by clicking on the thumbs present on the end of your page.thank you
Check the Front Blower Motor Relay located in the IPM Relay and Fuse Box. It's location should be identified on the back side of the cover. There are other exact Relays (like the Spare Relay or the adjacent: Rear Blower Motor Relay or Defogger Relay) that you can switch out and check operations. If the Front works now but not the Rear, it is the Relay and should be replaced.
THE WIRES ARE NORMALLY PUSH ON LIKE SPEAKER WIRES BUT IF IT IS MELTED THERE IS A SHORT IN THE WIRE SOMEWHERE IT COMES OUT OF FUSE BOX THEN TO RELAY UNIT THEN FROM RELAY TO SWITCH THE RELAY MIGHT BE FAULTY CAUSING WIRES TO HEAT UP RELAYS ARE LOCATED IN FUSE BOX THERE IS ALWAYS MORE THAN ONE SO SWAP FOR ANOTHER RELAY REPLACE FUSE AND TRY LIGHTS AGAIN TO SEE IF THE RELAY IS THE PROBLEM HOPE THIS HELPS GLENN
