They both come on but do not blink. Replaced flasher and turn signal switch, still no luck. Hazard lights work as they should (both sides). All other lights on that side work as well (brake, tail, parking light).

Hi,

Do the left side work at all? I just need to know if the right front and rear turn signals indicate both rears.

Also, keep in mind there should be two flashers on this vehicle. One is for the hazards and the other for the turn signals.

Let me know. Please bear with me. I am doing this from memory. Because of the model year, I have no wiring schematics to review.

Take care,

Joe

Left side front and rear work as they should. Right side come on but do not blink. All hazards both side front and rear work along with both brake lights. I see one flasher on the fuse box, any idea where the other would be. Thank you for your help.

Hi,

The flasher in the fuse box is for the hazards. Since your left signals work, then it isn't a fuse. If you look between the steering column and radio, it should be in that area. I think they used something like a spring clamp to secure it. Try to find a purple and a pink wire that are near each other (approximately 14 gauge). They are what should go to the flasher. If you see the wires, follow them.

Let me know what you find.

Take care,

Joe

Thank you so much. I found the 2nd flasher behind the ash tray and replaced it. They now both work as they should. Thanks again for the help.

Hi,

Glad to hear you found it. They liked to hide them. LOL Interestingly, one would think the more common flasher, the one for the turn signal, would have been placed in the fuse box for people to find. I guess that just makes too much sense. LOL

Take care and feel free to come back any time in the future. You are always welcome here.

Joe

PS: Great car. Thanks for letting me remember them. It's nice to work on something of this year.
