Turn signals, relays, and fuse box.

Ok.. I put the Del Sol back together the other day and my turn signals wouldn't work, nor would my Hazard lights. I installed new turn signal housings, and the corner lights do come on with the headlights. I didn't have my side marker lights hooked back up yet so I figured that was the issue. I hooked up the side marker lights last night and the turn signals still didn't work but the side marker lights are on, so I figure the Flasher relay must have taken a dump on me. We after an hour of searching for it, I finally found the flasher relay. It was stuffed under the carpet, and the rest of my relays were moved around in various spots... But I digress...

My real purpose of this is, while I was hunting for the relay I noticed that the fusebox said turn and it looked like a relay would/could be plugged in there but there is nothing. Should there be something there or is that because they just use the same fuse box on every car and the Del Sol uses a different external relay separate from the fuse box?

Is the plug plugged in on your hazard lights?? Not having your hazard light harness plugged in will knock out your turn signals.

It shouldn't be, but I can check that. It worked when I drove it home from getting painted. It has been sitting for a little while. Since the bumpers and plastic parts were getting painted. I installed the stereo and new speakers during this time. I guess it's possible that perhaps it wasn't plugged in all of the way and could have come loose.

Yeah, I changed out the radio on my wifes car and forgot to plug the hazard switch back in. Took me a while to find that was the problem.

Well I'm going to Autozone at lunch and getting a new relay. If that doesn't work then I'll check the Hazard switch. in the Del Sol it's on the gauge cluster so I didn't mess with that when I took the radio out. Hard telling really electrical problems are grand.

Welp, I checked the Hazard switch it is still plugged in. Looked all over town for a new flasher relay, NO ONE has anything even close. :x The downsides of living in a hick town. I bet I wouldn't have any problems finding parts for my Ram around here. :thumbdown:
