Turn Signals and 4 way flashers stopped working
Car was working trouble free and fine until this evening, both the turn signals and hazard switch now do nothing. Anyone else encounter this? What was the solution? Vehicle is an 85 GSL-SE. Thanks in advance.

Is the flasher dead? Might want to check it out.
|
I had a short that blew my interior lights and hazards, it was just the 15a fuse that needed to be replaced after i fixed the short. But my 84 didn't have the turn signals go out when that fuse blew.
|
Where is the flasher located? Is it a two prong cylinder style?
|
i went to the auto parts store and they sold me a round flasher which does not appear to fit the bill. i've got the wheel off and the column shroud off and can't make heads or tails of it. any pointers?

The issue is the flasher control module. Its located near the hood release and is black in color with the flasher unit built in. Pull it and replace with a known good unit.

I had the same problem occur with my '85 gsl last summer. I had a solder joint break loose on the back of my hazard switch that killed the turn signals and four-ways. Found a replacement switch on ebay for $20 and it fixed the problem. If I remember correctly I could still hear the flasher working when I tried to use the blinkers but the dash indicators and the exterior lights were inop.

Well my signals work fine but my hazards do nothing..... I must look into this.
I thought the fix involved taking apart a module and re-soldering a component? |
