Default turn signals not working

For a moment, they would hardly work, by this i mean they would turn on but very quickly they'll turn off. I took it to good year and they said they think its a flasher.

After they checked it out, none of the turn signals work at all. not even my taillights.

Is this something I can fix myself? help is appreciated, thanks.

Start with checking Fuse #2 (15A) and Fuse #5 (10A) under the hood. You might also want to check Fuse #9 (10A) too.

Under the dash, check Fuse #19 (7.5A)

Remove and inspect the Turn Signal / Hazard relay from the under-dash fuse panel.
There are four relays above all the fuses, the one you want is on the right side. (no. 4) Make sure it isn't corroded and that it is making good contact. If it's okay, move on.

While the relay is out, test the fuse panel itself. There are three slots, one on either side, and one in the center on top. Number them clockwise. Left is 1, top-center is 2, right is 3.

Cavity 1: Under all conditions, Check for voltage to ground, there should be less than 1V. If there isn't, there's a bad ground or an open in the wire.

Cavity 2: With the ignition switch ON (II) and the turn signal switch in the left or right position - connect the #2 terminal to the #3 terminal. The (left or right, depending on which position you put the switch in) turn signal light should come on. If it doesn't, you have a bad ground, an open in the wire, or the turn signal switch is faulty.


Hopefully that helps.
