You would need a test light or DVOM to test the fuses and check for missing battery voltages.

Have you checked the wire connectors?

I own the vesicle listed above GS and the turning signals don’t work. I don’t see a fuse for it and not sure if it’s a wiring issue or relay issue. The hazards work fine and the bulbs flash for the hazards. But for turning, no signals on dash and no flashing of the bulbs.

I replaced the actual stalk on the steering wheel but to no avail.

What should I do?

Hello,

In the diagrams down below I have included the diagnostic troubleshooting guide from the vehicle manufacturer for your vehicle's turn signals being inoperative. This troubleshooting guide will require you to use a Digital Multi-meter [DMM], so here is a link below explaining how to use a DMM down below, if needed:

Please go through these guides and get back to us with what you are able to find out.

Thanks,
Alex

Hey Alex,

Can you tell which dedicated fuse(14) that is? Is it in the passenger compartment fuse box or the engine compartment fuse box?

Hello again,

This would be the Under hood Fuse Box in the engine compartment. In the diagrams down below I have included the Under hood Fuse Box [Dedicated] diagram and callout for you. Please go through this guide and get back to us with what you are able to find out.

Thanks,
Alex

Hey, I found out what was wrong. I peeled back the steering column cover and saw two wires were cut/severed/ripped. I brought it to a mechanic and he charged $75.00 (different people charge different prices everyone. In-case you're reading this looking for help) to solder and organize the wires again.

I have no experience in it, hence why I got a mechanic, but to my knowledge soldering is pretty easy. I recommend anyone who has to time to look up how to do it. Anyways got it to work like a charm, its all set.

ok then your problem is mostlikely in the "multi switch". the switch that controls hazzards and blinkers
