ok so last night, driving home
i realize my turn signals werent working. my hazards still work, headlights corners still work
my high beams im still trynna figure out whats wrong w. those but thats not to much of a concern at the moment(wire isnt grounded correctly i think)

but im trying to figure out why my turn signals suddenly stopped working. when i put them on theres no noise no nothing. but hazards do still work though
so can anyone tell me what they think went wrong ? blown fuse, relay ? anyone got an idea

k20eklipse

anyone help please

2 minute bump? Check for a blown turn signal fuse, which is different than the hazards fuse. If the fuse is fine, check the switch on the steering column.

kk thanks
i'll see if its blown or not. it was dead working all day then like once i headed back home i realized it wasnt working at all smh

either the fuse or Relay check both

k20eklipse

ight i checked the fuse, its still good
but i can only find the 4way relay(hazards)
anyone know where the signal relay is on a 92 eg hatch ?

k20eklipse

need this fixed before manana, help por favor

It should be on the same relay if not its right next to it it will be a square under the dash

EJeff8

Switch could've gone bad. It's a possibility.

k20eklipse

only relay under there is the hazards, the flasher isnt there i checked =/
some dude said its further under the dash but i couldnt find it

k20eklipse

how would i know cause my headlights still work & there on the same switch. like that idk what to call it. w.e its called that controls headlights,turn signal etcc. the only that doesnt work is when its pushed down or up (to signal). soo any way i could tell if thats just whats wrong ?

EJeff8

A whole switch doesn't need to go out to be bad, certain mechanics in the switch can go bad. The relay sounds like a better possibility, but the switch COULD be one.

EJeff8

This diagram for a 5th gen Hatch shows that relay to work both options, hazard and signal.

k20eklipse

isnt it showing that their both the same one ? it says turn signal/hazard relay
& only 1 little box, so im guessing there the same, but everyone else is saying there 2 different ones

EJeff8

i said they were the same.

97ej said they were the same.

k20eklipse

i guess they are the same then. but when you put on the hazards you hear them blinking from the relay. soo i didnt think they could be the same

EJeff8

Dude, two people said they were and so does the schematic. It wouldn't make sense for them to be split up really, it's one relay that controls two modes for two lights, both sets at the same speed. They'll be one in the same. Once again, a relay can malfunction without completely crapping. My wiper relay works perfect on low and high, but stops erratically on INT and stops the minute you turn it to off. So dude, replace it. It's a good bet it's your problem.

No turn signals or high beams suggests you should test the switch. What year?

EJeff8

Not gonna lie, it's cool when Ron agrees with me. He said his HBs may be caused from an un hooked ground. I wouldn't believe that to hold water though. And he has a 92 Bro.

So either a switch or relay. Both very cheap at a junkyard.

Switches are the easiest things to swap. Pull the steering covers, remove two small screws and some plugs, then pull like a **** ( I think they're glued in?), then just slide the new one in and test.

Member Danomatic93 has posted a nice DIY fix for combination switches.

k20eklipse

ight thanks for all the help
imma most likely replace it tomorrow morning before work, gracias again peoples

Former User

Test before replacing anything.

k20eklipse

im still type confused on how to test it though, im looking at the diagram you gave but im unsure of how to check for continuity between the terminals
care to explain a little more
