Hi -

the turn signals and hazard lights have gone out on my car, I checked both fuse blocks ( inside and under hood ) for bad fuses and all were good. Can someone please tell me where the flasher assembly is located and if their is possibly an inline fuse I could have missed?.........Thank You

how did you check the fuses in the main engine compartment fuse block? You need to actually test the fuse, not just visually inspect it.

9.9/10 it's the fuse, the relay almost never fails on these cars.

used a lighted probe circuit tester on each fuse , they all were testing good

appreciate the reply..only thing i can think of thats left is the flasher....nothing happens when you try to use the hazard lights or the turn signal....unless I missed a fuse somewhere?

have you disassembled the center console or radio/cc stack recently? If the Hazard switch isn't plugged in neither the turn signals or flashers will work. I recommend changing the hazard and turn signal fuses just as a precaution given it's minimal (<$2) cost.

hi -

haven't done any dash work on the car at all....... I even took a spare fuse and replaced it but no effect at all.... unless I missed a possible inline fuse somewhere that I cant see..... fuse has power but the signals or flash are inoperative

thank you for your reply

Hazard and turn signal go through the flasher. Located to the left of parking brake pedal. See thread: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/ls-...-location.html Post #6

Toyota uses the same flasher relay units for different cars. I have seen the inside of a couple of failed ones. The unit has a printed circuit board inside and it is consisting of semiconductors, Cs, Rs and a relay. Both of failed units had soldering cracks. I'd simply remove the unit and check inside.

Thanks for the thread on the location of the unit..... im going to replace it but have a feeling thats not the problem......does anyone happen to have a wiring diagram for the turn signal circuitry per chance?...thank you

Thats perfect aptoslexus , Thank You so very much!....and now to find the problem

volkrt

wanted to thank every one again for all the help...it turns out their was a short in the wiring which took out the flasher....fixed both and now its working.....

And whats with the funky redundant ground system?


And volkrt, where exactly was the short and why was there a short? What caused it? Just for a heads up for others.

volkrt

the short was inside the right front fender wiring, what caused it is yet unknown.....wiring worked itself out of the loom and the insulation got exposed after years.... if I find the actual cause I will post it.....
