Turn signals not working

My turn signals stopped working this week. The hazards work, though. I noticed last week they were acting weird, they would turn on for a couple of blinks and then stop working. Now they don't do anything.

Could it be the turn signal switch?

Could be either the MFS, the flasher relay, or something else in the circuit. You'd have to do some diagnostic work to pinpoint the problem.

The operation of the hazards do not exclude the flasher relay. It's actually two separate flashers in the same package sharing only a common ground.

Multi-function switch, aka the lever that activates the turn signals.

It was the relay. Very easy fix. Took about 15 minutes from taking out the first screw around the ashtray frame and putting in the last screw when done.

Thanks, everybody on this thread.
