No front blinkers. 97 maxima

1997 NISSAN MAX, ALL 35W HID AC 6000K. (9004)(H3) NOW NO FRONT BLINKERS. Tester shows a load , alters current but eventually drops to 0. no lights from the front directionals (1156) at all. The rears blink fast, and hazards flash in back only. Also replaced the rotted radiator support, but had lights after that..seems after the xenon conversion car got angry. Any help? also replaced flasher combination switch below steering column, near right lower left side, still same.

thnxz in advanced

Remove both front flasher bulbs and do a continuity check on the wall of the lamp socket to ground.

Glad you fixed it.

I would have suggested it, but you literally said you had replaced it in your first post.

I did replace it the first time...but A friend had the bright idea that possibly a junk yard one is best...AFTER THE FACT. I was told he got it new...lol LIARS! Trip to the dealer solved the problem with, get ready, a NEW relay. BEWARE OF FRIENDS!
