Turn Signals {NEED HELP}
Okay, so my Turn Signal lights do not work; my hazards are still working. I replaced the turn signal bulbs and the turn signal relay (located on the drivers side, underneath the steering column) and the problem still persisted. I took a quick look at the wires and didn't see any loose wires.
What should I do?
Do you think i have to disassemble the steering wheel and change the coil assembly?
Need help ASAP

Sounds like the turn signal switch is starting to go. They're only like Twenty or Thirty dollars.

How do the bulb sockets look? They could be causing the trouble too.

the hazards work and the blinkers don't? you replaced the correct relay? try switching the relays for the hazards and turn signals. also check fuse number 2. i think your multifunction switch, the blinker lever, is bad.

well if the fuse is good and you are confident with the relay, i would say its the multifunction switch.

there is one relay for each of them. so two relays. the turn signal relay is down and to the right of the steering wheel, closer to the radio/console area. the hazards is down and to the left of the steering wheel, closer to your door. now riddle me this, did you eff up???

i put my hand on the plastic guard above the gas pedal and can feel the flasher clicking over there. its like at the bottom of the trim panel under the steering wheel. kinda where the diagnostic port is. i could be wrong but i doubt it.

it should be above the diagnostic port in that general area. if i had a wrench at my house, i would drop it and look. maybe someone knows better? when i put my blinker on, i feel the relay clicking over there.

okay so I fixed it. No, there is only one relay for both turn signal and hazards. and the problem was a blown fuse. I didn't know I had to check both sides of the fuse with the test light . but thanks everyone for your help and input.
