Is it a Plymouth Acclaim? Never heard of a "Pontiac Acclaim" The first place to start looking is in the fuse box. most likely located on the driver side. either under the dash, Or behind the "kick panel" (where your left foot would kick against) to the left of the pedals. After locating the fuse box (fuse panel) find the fuse labeled "brake light" or "tail light" or "turn signal" Pull out one of these fuses (one at a time) inspect the fuses condition. If its burned "blown", replace it with a new one of the same amp value as the one that you have removed. If after replacing the burned fuse/fuses the new fuse burns out shortly or immediately after installation, It will indicate that you have an electrical short and the vehical will need to be diagnosed by an auto electric shop, Or by a Mechanic with electrical experience.
my turn signals do not work in my 1992 Pontiac Firebird
you mean the engine still runs?
Check the bulbs they are double filamented with the smaller for stop and turn signals
Brake lights and turn signals are on a separate circuit from the tail lights. Tail lights are on the same circuit with the dashboard lights. If the dashboard lights aren't working either, check the fuse. If they ARE working, check the headlight switch.
a bad fuse of a faulty switch.
Start small. Check your fuses.
one of the lights is not working
On my 98 sunfire, the tail lights and marker lights only work if you turn on the headlights. If only the daytime lights are on, the Pontiac on the trunk is illuminated but no other lights at the rear until brakes or turn signals are activated. This is common with a lot of vehicles out there. Daytime running lights are not necessarily the same candle power as the headlights. I can tell a big difference in mine.
turn signal switch needs replaced!
The fuse probably blew that controls the dashboard lights.
in dash lights
if turn signals are working , and brake lights not working, i would replace the stop light switch on the brake pedal
