OK so a few months ago, my turn signals stopped working... both sides... I couldnt figure it out for the life of me.


After a few days, I noticed that my hazard button didnt illuminate at night anymore which led me to discover than the hazard button was actually pressed in this whole time.


As soon as I un-pressed it and tried my turn signals they worked and everything has been normal ever since.


Except my hazard button does nothing besides cause my turn signals to not work... Pressing the hazard switch doesnt initiate my hazard lights at all... nothing goes off and I cannot use my turn signals.


It doesnt look like there is a fuse under the dash:

The last time my lights went out it was my back/turn fuse which I replaced with a 20a (instead of a 15a). I did this because my turn signal circuit powers my JDM city/turn signals bulbs, JDM side markers and my rear turn signals.


I am wondering if the added power might have fried the whole Hazard Switch?

1) Hazard switch is disconnected or shorting.
2) Flasher relay under the dash is faulty
3) Faulty Hazard Switch...

The Hazard circuit controls the turn signals at the same time..

You can find the relay but using the turn signal and listening for the relay "click" ... you will have to remove the knee panel under the dash and locate the relay. Put ur finger on each relay and wait for the relay "click" to engage and you will feel the relay vibrate.

Perfect!


What good would finding the relay do? If my turn signals work just fine now without the hazard pressed... and I find the click... does pressing the hazard button and not being able to detect a click (because no lights are blinking) really mean that the Relay is bad?!?!


Doesnt seem to make sense.
