Turning lights not working, need opinions

My turning lightts went out on my 3rd generation. The blinkers are out. I checked the bulbs and the look fine. I also checked the fuses under the hood. They are good too. I don't know what else it could be.

Yes, I checked the fuse box already. This problem just started. I was thinking maybe a light burnt out but I dont think both turning lights would not work.

hmm, i don't think that both bulbs went bad. are there any other bulbs in you car that are the same as the turn signals? if so replace 1 of the blubs with that bulb. if not do you have a meter? i see you said you checked the fuses. in your first post i thought you cehcked under your hood, did yoy check for any fuses under your hood?

Yes I checked under the hood and inside the car. I have to test the connections to the fuses. I brought a repair manual. Luckily this happened friday where I am able to work on it this weekend. I would hate to take it to an electrician, exspensive!!!. Thank for your help.

Re: Turning lights not working, need opinions

do the little arrow lights in the car blink? if no the turn signal switch may be bad. If they do turn on, check the wiring for any sort of short or bad ground. Perhaps someone could scan the wiring diagrams and take a quick peak at it to help you out. My dad has my old FSM, so i'm just taking a shot in the dark

I found out what the problem was. Before all this happened I took off the heater/stereo panel to see why my a/c was shutting off sometimes. When I did that I had to disconnect the hazard light wiring. The turning lights some how are linked in with them. So problem solved. Thanks for all the help.
