Unhappy Need help, turn signals

Hey guys, need some help, figured I would ask her because I am not sure where to start. Tonight I took my car to get some food and when I try to use my turn signals I get absolutely nothing. No fast click, no noise, nothing. I get back and the only thing that works is the right side cornering light. Any ideas? Thanks a bunch.

sounds like a bad short somewhere...or maybe somehow all your lights blew except that one...did you check all the fuses?

Yea I checked the fuses, those are all alright. I was wondering if it would do that if I blew all of the lights, but all four from front and back? plus a cornering light? lol Maybe I'm just unlucky. Thanks.

nah man the fuses are there to protect stuff from blowing ... what kind of lights are you running ? and what fuses did you check the ones under the hood ? or the ones in the kick panel? double check them fuses and hope you get lucky

Well I checked both sets, but its dark outside and I was just using my phone so I'll check again tmrw. I am using stock lights all around, never had a problem like this. Wierd the one corner light still works though.

Well just went out and checked all the fuses again, and they are all fine. Tried to see if the hazards would work and nothing. So hazards wont let the signals flash either.

Fixed it guys, somehow the plug that connects to hazards behind the console came undone. Whew. Thanks for the suggestions everyone.

Well technically you dont have fog lights. They are cornering lights that come on with your turn signals. You might know this and are just calling them fog lights but I'm just making sure. What I'm thinking is wrong is that your cornering light bulbs are out and thats whats making you lights flash, as long as all your signal bulbs are working.

Yea thats what I'm thinking. Im not positive because it hasnt happened to me, but it makes sense that it would try to tell you they were out. Again I could be wrong, and I'm sure people on here know alot more than me, but that would be my guess. When you hit the turn signal either way does the light underneath come on?
