All 4 Turn Signals won't work ---- Light bulbs okay, Fuse okay

All my turn signals don't work all in a sudden, I checked the light bulbs in all 4 compartments and found their tungsten didn't melt.

And then I also checked the fuse box, but I don't really see there is any fuse responsible only for turn signal, so I checked "fr fog", "L head lamp", "R head lamp", and everything else related to light and they are all okay!

Can anyone please help me to fix this problem. I know I will get pull over soon if I don't turn with my lights on somehow!!!

Thanks x1000.

Thats right. My harzzard light is not working neither.

if you pull out that part of your center console, there is a connector to plug into the back where the hazard button is, if its not plugged in your turn signals wont work.

Have you take apart you center console recently?

I haven't opened the center console recently.
But I don't know why it won't work.

But thanks anyway, I will try to open the console later after dinner to see if it works.

Cross my finger.

Not at all. I just get nothing when I put my blinker on.
No light, no signal, no noise.

I checked the hazzard button, the connector is securely plugged in. So I don't think is this causing the problem.

Any other suggestion??
I really don't want to go out and pay the extra labor fee.

Its kinda hard for the hazzard light switch to become unplugged on its own. I've ran into a few that didn't want to come off with force. From what you are describing I'd put my money on the hazzard light switch. Ran into the same problem on a couple of other cars I've worked on.

i had the same problem last year, trust me its the flasher relayer, its under the dashboard right by your knee, i went to a nissan dealer and just bought one and replaced it, its a really small black box and you just connect a wire to it.

I have a switch if you end up needing it. But I would replace the fuse, even if it doesn't look burnt, at least you can be sure. Sometimes they can be partially burnt.

Hazard fuse????????????? There are 2 or 3 fuses that can make the turn signals not work. However with no clicking a relay might be the problem.

Besides the hazard one, which others can it be? Also what can cause the Hazards alone to not work but the signals to work fine? Anyone know this?

$50 to $60

It is called a blinker relay which is located where someone said a your right knee sitting in drivers seat under dash. if blinker relay is damaged it would cause no sound no blinking for both the hazards and turn signals..100% it has happen to me once.However i have seen others on an led web site for less money $13 dollars or so...

Check the simple things first... there is a fuse dedicated to signals, which also operates your hazard lights. check ALL the fuses until you find a burnt one.
