I am not technically oriented. My turning signal lights went dead both front and rear.

I checked the cabling, I checked the fuse; all seem to be fine. But power is not flowing through the cabling. Any ideas what I need to do to solve this problem. Any help will be much appreciated.

Squirt some contact cleaner through the switch?

Could be the relay.
This could likely be the culprit because all the signal lights are not working. I will post the answer. Thank you mate.

Unless you checked the fuse with a multi-meter, replace the fuse before spending any money on other things. Sometimes a fuse that looks fine, is still bad.

::026:: on the fuse(s). I always start with the cheapest part(s). Sometimes the simplest IS the right answer. Good luck.

Just a thought, to eliminate the possibility of the turn signal switch being faulty - did you try the hazard switch?

Report back: Sierra-1 was were right. It was a fuse. I had initially checked the fuse by sight, but then when it was checked instrumentally, it turned out that it was blown. I replaced the old with a new fuse. Problem solved. I saved myself quite a bit of money.

Thank you folks. ::015::

Glad the problem/fix was cheap and you found it w/o getting too far into other potential areas.
