Turn Signal/Hazard issues (searched)

Okay, I searched but I couldn't find anything like my problem, well I could, but minus a detail.

Okay, neither my turn signals nor hazards work, they used to occasionally, but now I get nothing. Tonight, I decided to go check something to see if it was with my ignition.

I turned my key over to ACC/Run and pushed the turn signal lever down. When I did that I heard the "click click" for a second but the dash lights didn't flash and the signals didn't flash. When I did it again, it didn't do it.

It's like they are trying to work, but still don't.

I can't find a flasher for it, I have been looking forever but can't seem to get ahold of one, and I checked all my fuses. All my fusible links are still in one piece, and everything else is good (except for maybe the flasher)

Could it be a bad ground somewhere, or something shorting out?

Anyone else have these symptoms?

Yeah, i've really never been able to find a solution besides the flasher, which I can't seem to get. I was really just wondering if anyone else had that problem like I have, there they seem to try and work. It seems like a bad ground or a short to me, but I dont even know where to begin in searching for either.

I'm a turn signal *****, so i'm really wanting to solve it. If you find any information, post it here, maybe there's more than just us 2 having problems, i'm sure there are.

or if you happen to find somewhere to buy a freaking flasher.

Yea i had a similar issue, click click click, stay on solid for about 2 minutes, click click clcik.. Actually it's really random when it works or not. I was able to fix the emergency flashers by spraying contact cleaner, and flicking the switch some 40 times.... so that finally works. but they have the same issue as the turn signal.


yea but i'm still trying to solve the problem why my flashers would randomly stop flashing and just go solid.
