Default Flashers dont work!! need help!!!

Wats up guys, on my 99 after I replaced the altenator my flashers only work on the inside of the car. I checked all fuses inside the car and under the hood.
I'm thinking maybe the flasher relay!! Help plz and thank you in advance.

I guess don't nobody know where the relays for the turn signals are, cause I'm really not trying to get hammered from behind or any tickets.

Why don't you stop by a Lexus dealer and talk with a service advisor. If your nice and ask for help I have found they will be glad to give you advice. You could even call some dealers and explain the problem in detail and see what they say.

I did that actually last weekend and they said to check ur bulb. But I'm kinda confused cuz usually my dash would tell me that a bulb is out. But if more than 1 bulb is blown, then would the dash still tell me that I have multiple bulbs out??

Check fuses? Wouldn't hurt to check the actual bulbs. And not working you mean front and rear?

Yea front and rear...and I did check the fuses. They were fine. I'll check bulbs sometime tomorrow. Any other ideas while I'm into it.

If the dash warning light is working but flashing very quickly it suggests that there is no load on the flasher unit (which seems to be OK because you have the dash light flashing) so you either have all 4 bulbs blown or a wiring problem to them all.
Do your hazard warning lights work? If not I would be looking at the switch.

Looked up the manual and there is a HAZ fuse in the engine compartment supplying the Hazard Warning Lights, there is a fuse (TURN) in the interior fuse panel under the driver's side dash and the flasher unit is also on the far left of the driver's side kick panel.
