OK man I feel dumb for asking this but bare with me> My turn signals are out, did I check the fuses? of course and it was blown so i replaced it and weeks later it blows again, replace it again and this time they are acting a bit bit speratic, one only turns on when it wants to than maybe the other one than pop on the hazards than after that they both owrk for one or two times, than blows another fuse. So I figure its the relay, well after calling some parts stores and the dealer I find there is no turn signal relay, So I'm stumped. i would go and check all the bulbs and crap but honestly Between working full time and it being finals week at school I have no time to get inoto it. meanwhile I'm driving around like an a**hole not signaling wherever I go.

Honestly, Noone can help me out with this?? Im at the mercy of your knowledge.
I just went out and played with it, I replaced the hazrd fuse than went in , pushed the hazard switch, heard a quick buz than went and saw the fuse blew immediately. I took out all the bulbs, the rear two were smoked but not blown, replaced the fuse again, same buzz that blown fuse. Im pulling my hair out over this. PLEASE HELP.

theres gotta be some kind of relay thing that controles the flashing of these isnt there??

Why don't you try a new hazard light switch?

i'm pretty sure there's a relay, just don't know the P/N....also, are you using regular bulbs, or are you using high wattage or crappy bulbs?

Yes, there is a relay for the signal lights and is part of the hazard switch itself. So you'll need a new switch.

In the meantime, the "cheap man's solution" is to remove the hazard switch and place it on the palm of one hand, then give it a good wack with the palm of the other hand .

This works most of the time, but eventually a new switch will be needed.

I have an extra hazard light switch for a 850 pm me

Thanks alot guys that was the answer I was looking for, yes it definately sounds like the haz switch as the short buzz sound came from behind the switch.
Now to remove the switch do I have to get behind it or does the switch part actually pop off to allow access to whatever fasteners it has. Thanks again. Merlin you'll get a pM from me.

Oh and I am pretty sure the bulbs are OEM.

Just use a small pocket screw driver to "Carefully" pry the switch out.
