Hi everyone

For the past few months, I have been trying to get my turn signals to work. My hazards work but my turn signals do not. I have replaced the flashers, checked the grounds, and replaced the turn signal unit in the column, and checked the grounds. I've tried almost everything. any help would be appreciated



, Thanks

Check power source.
Every circuit/function you named has its own power from at least the fuse box

Did you check the Turn Signal/Backup Light fuse?

In stock wiring, Turn signals use a separate flasher and are powered through a different fuse separately from the hazards.

Do your backup lights work? Backup lights are powered from the same fuse as Turn Signal.

If your hazards work then wiring from turn signal switch out to bulbs is OK. As mentioned, check power at the different points from fuse to the switch. Ignition must be on to get power to Turn Signals. Hazards work with ignition off.

Check the fuse holder for corrosion. Make sure that power goes through the fuse and into the circuit. When using a test light touch the tabs that hold the fuse rather than the fuse.

Part of the T/S circuit goes thru the brake light switch. I'd start with checking circuits at the harmonica connector at the base of the column. Check what's going in and what's going out and go from there. if you have an extra switch you could try plugging that in without taking the column apart first.
