Well my turn signals don't work. The hazard flashers work fine though. I believe this problem started after I replaced the heater core (dash removal). Does anyone have any ideas? I also have aftermarket headlights, i don't believe that would change anything though.

Thanks

Nick

That is strange. Does your switch work? I had problem with mine until I replaced the switch.

Make sure your highbeam switch is tightened down, its a self grounding peice and if it isnt seated all the way it wont ground and wont work.

Thanks for the suggestions. Can this be done by just removing the trim arount the column?
Does my switch work? Which one? My high-beams work fine, my wipers work (no intermittent though). My washer works.

You said that you just did the heater core. On my 93, the turn signal flasher is behind and to the left of the glove box. Would you have maybe forgotten to plug the flasher in or maybe some of the wires there got in a bind.

The turn signals and emergeny lights run on different circuits that is why 1 can work without the other. I would check to see if the turn signal flasher is unplugged like suggested above.

It is the turn signal flasher. I had a similar problem a month ago. Everything worked on the multi-signal switch but the turn signals. You gotta replace that blue flasher behind your glove box like in that picture. It should be a quick fix

p.s. get an electronic flasher, more consistent than the cheap thermal flasher.

Don't quite get your question, where do the wires go? I haven't traced them but I would think they would have to go between the multi-function switch and the circuit for the turnsignals.

like said before, the hazards and turn signals have different flashers. on my 91 GT, the turn signal flasher is kinda behind the cd player. i didnt have to remove anything to get to it. i just stuck my head behind the center console, coming from the passenger side, found the blue flasher, and pulled it out. kinda tricky, and its press fit, but it'll come out. i think it can either be where i said or in the glove box, depending on year or make or something..... not sure why

Problem Solved!!!
I found the flasher.. mine was under the steering column. I guess i missed that plug when i put the dash back in after the heater core, it wasn't plugged in at all.

Thanks for all the help

where do the wires off the flasher lead to? My first guess would have been the mulitfunction switch but what color are the wires?
