Turn (signal) lights and hazard light don't work

[tonycan]

Hello. My TD5 which drowned last year was up and running after I finally replaced my ECU a second time. I have been using it for about 9 months now. Last month the turn lights and the the hazard lights went out. After a couple of days the hazard light came on for a few seconds then died out again. It's been a month since.

I read somewhere that the hazard lights are connected to a relay. If so, it might be the relay but I can't seem to find it's location.

Of course it could also be the hazard switch. But because of my car's flooding it could be grounded wires.

Can anyone offer a suggestion which repair I should try first?

Thanks,

Tony

Check the connections to and the operation of the hazards lights switch.

Likely to be the switch itself. Easy to check by bypassing the switch.

The signaling lights are controlled by 2 relays. they are in the fuse box under the steering wheel. More information would help to better direct you.

1) Do the signal light turn on even for a short while?

2) Do you here a click from the in cab fuse box?

Please describe the symptoms.

I had a similar problem only one side worked.

Thank you all for the tips and the links.

Today I worked on my Turn indicator lights.

I connected the purple supply terminal to the left and right indicator terminals and as described the left or right indicator lights stayed on without flashing.

I tried to connect purple terminal to white with green trace flasher terminal and nothing happened.

Am I supposed to attach purple terminal to left or right terminals at the same time as the purple to flasher terminal?

Can I rule out hazard switch as being defective?

Thanks everyone.
