This is really strange. When I was doing various things to my car today my blinkers suddenly stopped working. By blinkers I mean everything. Front and rear/passenger and driver sides. Not only that-- but the interior bliker lights as well. I checked the fuse for "signal" and it didn't appear to be blown. I just can't figure it out. Can someone give me an idea as to what this might be? Thanks!

 

u were messing around with the hazzard light switch? get to it and check out if the wires arent loose...

 

Actually, yes. I had the dash surrounding my stereo out today when I was painting it. So, if I clip the hazard switch back on it should work? Or are you saying that I might have somehow screwed up a wire? I figured it might have something to do with that. I didn't think just unclipping the buttons would shut of my blinkers . Thanks!

 

the hazzard switch has to be plugged in for the blinkers to work

 

Yep, blinkers don't work with hazard switch unplugged, it needs to be plugged in to complete the circuit or something.

 

Now I know. Thanks a lot for your help!

 

I have the same problem but my hazzards are plug up. I know i had a heater core leak the same day my blinker went out im thinking something got wet inside the car but i dont know what it is, i was told to change this blue thing on the passanger side on the floor but it didnt do anything still have the same problem

I check the fuses and they all good

I dont know what this is

 

use photobucket to post pics... Pic not working.

 

I went to autozone and they had two kinds of flasher but i dont see them under my dashboard can anyone help me

Oh can anyone see the pic now



(Tired of the police beating on me because of my blinkers, then giving me a ticket lol)

 

Everyone has this problem. Me cannot figure out what is this same or is it same or maybe almost smtg else.... If u explain in detail all the featureS that are lost, you will not get the same answer

Fuses have to swapped -or- measured. Visual inspection is valid only if a burned fuse is found.

When haz switch is [erroneously] in mid position, nothin blinks the same.

 

damn man i WISH the police around here would pull people for not signalling. people weave lanes like it's NASCAR or something out there. yeah i also looked for my blinker once and couldn't find it. i was planning on rewiring it in a semi-special way... actually...




it was going to make the sidemarkers alternate w/ the blinkers at all times.

 

Im goin to try replacing my haz switch maybe it went bad or something

 

well you are in NASCARolina.

 

Hand signals count in Cali if blinkers are out. See 2007 Driver's Manual

 

illinois as well

 

Yes and I don't know why on earth Tony Stewart went down to the bottom lane in a vain attempt to draft with his teammate on the last lap. he HAD the win, and gave it away, because the top line was a good 3mph faster than the bottom. his teammate, the 18, was finishing 4th either way.

but i digress. i heard turn signal usage is "a sign of weakness" in california, and is a "close up that tiny space i wanted to fit my car into" signal instead. if this is true, i will never go to california, because i would never get anywhere. i'm addicted to my turn signal stalk. i even signal out of the driveway... if i'm leaving my parents' house. so if my signal ever craps out... i'm farked.

 

I dont think it would have matter he report that he was chasing me for 4 mile and i didnt pull over, he was behind me for the 4 miles but didnt have his lights on, when i had to get over he cut his light on (forgot about the hand signals) i pull into the gas station he gets me out the car and the k9 cops come up looking into my car with there dog looking for anything they told me i was high on drugs and drunk , they chase a old lady away who needed help with her car said i was dangerous and to keep back. After all that i got a ticket for $115 for no signal. so i think i need to get it fix soon. I think its alot to go thru for a ticket, but maybe its just me, you guys have it made. stay out of ga if urs dont work lol
talk about being

 

Well the signal lights in the dash will not come on. I have light in the front that will come on but they are not the signal lights the just light up the back signal lights will not come on either. I check all fuses i replace the emergency switch check the bulbs. It all happen when my heater core leak into my car will i was trying to get it home they went out. If anyone can help i would really appreciate it.

 

have you checked the flasher?
checked for voltage at the hazard switch?

 

I was looking for the flasher, but cant find it on the car i seen the ones they have at the auto store but i didn't see anything that look like what they had. do u have a pic of what it look like. they say its on the right side under the steering wheel, but i don't see it or I'm looking over it. I have to get a new light tester mine is broken

 

get an FSM, it has the location in it. I'm just too lazy to look for it right now.

 

Where do i get one from???

 

google phatg20 maxima FSM.

 

Just my luck they don't have one for a 1990

 

grab the 94 one, and it will hopefully be in the same location. most things are the same from 89-94 on maxima.

 

Get the 94'

edit: Brian beat me to it

 

The 90 model does not have the door lock timer that is shown in the 94 FSM. But the part that is in the door lock timer's place is, in fact, the combo flasher unit.

 

I did say most

 

True. But what I find strange is that even without the door lock timer that the 92-94 has, my 90 operates in exactly the same manner as the 92 parts bucket.

 

they basically took a whole lot of individual control boxes and stuffed them in a cheaper-to-manufacture do-it-all box.. or at least that's what i gather from it

 

thats was the problem ty guys
