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.

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.

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?

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.

regardless, my signals have been working since i swapped the ebay flasher in. i will keep the other and tinker with it when the time or need arises, probably the latter.
looking over the factory diagnostic tree in the service manual (over on foxed.ca) seems to point towards the hazard fuse or hazard switch itself being the problem if the signals work but the hazards do not.
