My turn signals won't work!!!??
I bought this car from a guy and the turn signals would not come on when you pushed the lever on and it was missing the hazard button. So i figured it was simple either a fuse or the hazard button made a complete connection. Well i replaced the fuse and the hazard button and when i push the levers i get nothing, but when i hit the hazards the left turn signal light on the dash stays solid and the doors lock and unlock haha. I checked the wiring to the doors because it has a clifford alarm but i don't see where turn signal wires would be spliced anywhere... Any ideas??

This happened to me (where I would get a solid turn signal) I forgot which fuse it is.. It's totally unrelated (you wouldn't think it would affect the turn signals) check the fuse that is called 'back up light' or something similar to that.

i went out there with a fuse tester and tested all the fuses under the dash and in the engine bay. All are good, but i'll get a fuse for the back up and replace it anyways. See if i don't luck out. Keep the ideas coming because i'm stumped.

if you're missing the hazard button the turnsignals wont work. happened to my on my 93 civic.
EDIT: sounds like you have some crossed wires

I have the hazard button. I can't find any crossed wires anywhere. The clifford alarm to the door locks was hooked up perfect and the wiring that goes into the hazards is fine so i don't know what it is.

Things to check:
1. Fuse (which you checked)
2. Hazard button (check that terminals are not bent, and clean)
3. Turn signal/hazard relay in the under dash fuse/relay box.

I've never heard of the relay going out. However, if the first two don't check that could be the problem.

If enough of the bulbs are bad, it'll expletive everything up too. Make sure the bulbs work before you go trying new relays and wasting any more time testing individual fuses.

i work for infiniti, and i see the contact side of one make relays go all the time, about once a week i see that accually on older vehicles
i don't know what amount of ohms honda has for thier relays but ohm the contact side out and see what you got, 75-80 is normal on nissan/infiniti, that is also in the Service Manual in the General Information section also make sure you have power and ground on the relay socket itself when the switch is on
check all your wires, check pin fit on those, check sockets of the bulbs for corrosion, fuses of course the first thing you check, if all else fails go through the wiring for the alarm and then get the diagram for the car for the turn signal switches, if all your fuses are good this won't help but if one is bad, see if you can find the power distrobution in the service manual and see what all is on that fuse. play around with all the feautures till you find the fault seen some really crazy things like the reverse lights could be the fault and say the intake air temp would short out and cause a MIL. lol stupid stuff like that

The only relay I ever see on Hondas' that go out frequently is the main relay. But, hey I could be wrong. Thanks for pointing out your observations.

oh i understand, just stating that there is a possibilty of typical one makes going out on higher milage and older vehicles btw i hate that main relay theres a reason i have like 20 of them sitting around haha

Are you people fuckign kidding? The light on the dash comes on and stays on. So it isn't flashing. So let me think, what makes the turn signals flash, hmm....it couldn't be the flasher, no way in hell.

What are the "flashers"? Sorry if that is a stupid question but how do i check a flasher. The bulbs are good, the fuses are all good the relay is fine, i now have the hazard button. There are no wires crossed i traced them from the headlights to the wiring harness.... so what are the flashers??
