Icon3 Turn Signals not working o.O

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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?

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.
