Default Turn signals stopped working

2002 Accord Cpe V-6 automatic. Last night the turn signals just stopped working. Checked the fuse inside the car and it was okay. Hazard flasher works, but no turn signals. Any help with this would be much appreciated.

Do they make a rapid clicking noise but don't work?


If so, replace the flasher unit under the dash.

Nothing happens when you turn them on. No lights on dash, no light on bulb, nothing.

could be turnsignal relay or switch (stalk). Impossible to tell... I'd be carefull messing around with that switch since there is an airbag near by....

Thanks. I won't mess with the stalk. Where is the relay? I assume under the dash somewhere? Might be worth switching that out. Seems like in past experiences with bad relays, the light would come on but wouldn't blink. Here I get no lights at all.

look in the underhood fuse box,, fuse # 49 15 amps ..........

I DO NOT think that it is the relay , not if the hazards lites work ,,,,I would be really surprsed if it turned out to be the relay
could be a bad turn signal switch like YEU also mentioned ,, up at the steering wheel .....But chk that fuse first ..

Hazard flasher works, but no turn signals.
Not likely to be the relay if the hazards work. You might try a switch input test.

<edit: if it acts up again

I would check the turn signal switch. Its pretty easy, all you need is a voltmeter. Put the leads of the voltmeter across the Grn/Red and Grn/Blue wires when the turn signal is set to left. Put the leads of the voltmeter across the Grn/Red and Grn/Yel when the turn signal is set to right. Both tims the voltage should read 0. There could also be a wiring issue. If the wiring was bad i would suspect that the Grn/Red wire would be bad (it would cause both left and right turn signals to not operate). Check for voltage at the GRN/RED wire at the turn signal/hazard relay and the turn signal switch, again it should read very close to 0v.
