lost turn signals

[rktmn]

After replacing my radiator and water pump, I lost my 4 turn signals and the emergency 4 way blinkers.

I must have unplugged a connector or damaged a module.

I don't beleive that this is due to a blown fuse.

Anybody have any idea what could have happened and how to fix it?


Thanks.

If you lost both then the problem is before the flasher.

Where is the flasher?

Above the fuse panel.

The #1 fuse was blown, I replaced it, but still no turn signals. I guess that I will have to take care of it tomorrow.

I also do not have brake lights.

Thanks.

Well, I do not have turn signals, but I have turn lights. I blow the #1 fuse when I step on the brake pedal.

The #5 fuse (turn signal) is OK, but I do not hear the flasher ticking when I egage the turn stalk.

I cannot find the flasher. What does it look like? I imagine that the flasher is bad, and I need to replace it.

Help.

I have found the general vecinit of where the flasher is supposed to be located; however, it is so deep under the instrument panel that I still cannot locate it.

Has anybody replaced a flasher, and if so how did you get to it?

It looks like I would have to remove the instrument panel to get to it.

Is there an easier way?

I can see some connectors at the lefthand side, inside the dash, above the fuse panel, but I cannot identify the flasher from underneath the dash.

This happened to my 89 once, dealer fixed it, it was the ignition switch.

SHO SPD,

What happened? You lost your turn signals and shorted out the brake lights?

I installed an aftermarket ignition switch recently. I wonder if that could be my problem.

You did not have to replace the flasher?

Hmmm.. I cant remember if I had brake lights or not, but I didnt have the 4 ways or the thurn signals. It seems like I DID have my brake lights, but it was a few years back, so its hard to remember. But I do know they replaced the ignition switch, and problem was fixed.
