I have a similar problem... last night, I was driving along, using my turn signals as usual to change lanes and turns.

Then they just didn't work anymore. The hazard lights don't work either. I don't hear any clicking sound from any relay like I used to before. Either turn signals, nor hazards work. Does anyone know if they use the same fuse?

According to the owner's manual they probably do (I only saw a hazard light fuse in the picture, but found no turn signal fuse in the manual).

Any ideas?

Yes. Every other light works (reverse, low beams, high beams, parking lights, fog lights). The only ones that don't work are the turn signals and the hazard lights.

I think there is only one flasher module in the car (according to the workshop manuals). So it might be that, or the fuse. Although the fuse looks fine. I might try replacing it just in case it's bad and I just can't see it.

wow it just dosn't happen to me..... go to a local shop that does wiring and get them to check the fuses with a tester, it wont cost u a thing..... if it isn't the fuses and your parks dont work it is the conection underneath your steering arm... good luck and i hope you find the problemo..

if you have a voltmeter you can test the fuse for continuity to see if it's blown. Pop the hood and listen for clicking in the fuse box. If you can't here it then either the fuse or the relay to the blinkers os shot. You can replace them both for under 5 bux

I finally found what was wrong:

The connector that goes to the hazard switch had come loose. It made both the turn signals and the hazard signal not work.

I started checking for bad wires when I opened the flasher and saw that it was good, and the fuse was not burned. That's how I noticed.

Well... It was not that low when I took the picture. I took it when it was about 35,000 km. I then photoshoped it and made it look like it was 3 km. I thought 0 km would be too obvious.
