Ok gents lets help me fix this..Disapprove.
 
I took the car to the Alignment Center yesterday, they did their work and on the way home I had no turn signals??..I checked the fuse box first, all lit up with tester, next I checked all bulbs and they all work, next I purchased a replacement #522 long life flasher and installed it..No turn signals?? I hate chasing these ghosts..Wacko There are two wires on the passenger side under the dash that the flasher hooks into, one wire is pink and one purple, I think one goes back to the fuse box and the other heads up under the dash, I'm not taking the dash appart..Censored.. is there suppose to be power to the flasher by one of the wires?? If I there is suppose to be power and I have none, can I tap into a power source and hook it to the flasher wire?? Make sense?? Any ideas, all ideas welcome and become the property of the under signed........ Terry Spielman,

Sounds like a column switch problem..if you hook power to the relay without the column switch they won't turn off..just flash and flash..put a test light to the column connector and see if you can make it flash with the column lever..or if you have power even there..if not it's a broken wire between the column and the fuse box..is so then check to see if you can make a test light flash at the relay on either wire using the column lever..it probably won't though because the 4 ways work..might be a bad connection at the column connector..start there and see what you find..not to hard though..worst case is that you run a wire from the cold side of the fuse box to the column connector..r replace the switch under the steering wheel.

good luck

Terry...do the lights come on but not flash, or do they not come on at all?

The flasher should NOT have power to it unless the turn signals are on...

I believe there should be power to the pink wire with the key on, the flasher gets a grnd through the column switch to the lt bulbs to ground.

dohRight you are, Bob...Ouch
Pink/white wire comes directly from fuse box. Purple wire comes from t-sig switch...
No power on the pink/wht wire means a break in the wire from the fuse box, or a bad fuse. The fuse can check ok with a test light, but the connection can be bad coming out of the fuse box. Try removing the fuse and re-installing, or just replace the fuse with a new one...

Try another flasher, or swapping the t-sig flasher with the hazard flasher.
Do the turn lights come on, but just don't blink, or do they not come on at all?

Hey Terry, why do you need turn signals? Isn't there only ONE road up where you live.Rolling On The Floor Laughing
 
Good luck with the problem.
