What do you check if the blinkers don't work?

The first thing to check is the bulbs,if one is burned out the blinker won't light up on the dash(most cars).If it lights up but does not blink it is usually a flasher unit.The flasher unit is located on the fuse panel of most cars under the dash.The flasher is round about the size of a half-dollar coin.It just pulls out from the panel.Hope it helps...JD

What would cause your dash warning lights flashers turn signals and dash gauges not to work on your 2001 Chrysler Voyager?

Obviously a fault [short or ground] in the wiring circuit(s) to these devices.

If they are on the same circuit, a single fault is probably the cause.

If they are on separate circuits, the cause could be either a single fault in a circuit which supplies power to those circuits, or there is a fault on each [unlikely] of them.

The first step is to check for a "blown" fuse. A blown fuse is generally not a "cause" of failure; the cause is whatever caused the fuse to fail.

Most people simply replace blown fuses, but a blown fuse indicates that either a short circuit or an "overload" condition has occured [causing the fuse to fail]. Simply replacing a blown fuse is much like [in medicine] treating a symptom, without treating the disease.

For troubleshooting explanations and suggestions, see answers to a similar question: "What would cause the cigarette lighter to stop working all of a sudden without the fuse being blown on a 1992 Lexus LS400."

Why does flasher click when blinkers are not on?

are you sure it is the blinker? The reason I ask is I had a similar clicking noise coming from under the dash near the center console. Turns out that there is a switch under there that controls the vent door. On my 03 the switch was going bad and it would click almost identical to the blinker. The next time you hear the click try pushing the recycle air button on the a/c unit off and on several times. It worked for me. I must tell you though that my recycle air doesn't work now which leads me to believe that the switch eventually broke completely. Tweek

Most lights on modern cars are function specific - one bulb for the brakes another for signalling, etc.... Find the bulb that is loose or blown and tighten or replace it.

AnswerPerhaps the first thing to consider would be that the bulb is burnt out or loose.

Where's the relay switch for turn signals on a 2002 Chevy Malibu?

If you mean the turn signal flasher it is located under the dash near the steering column.If one side still flashes, turn on that sides signals and track down the clicking sound. Often one side will quit working before the entire thing quits. Your four way flasher looks the same but it is a different circuit.

The relay switch for your turn signals is located behind your hazard light flashers. It is literally DIRECTLY BEHIND the button used to turn the emergency lights on and off.

Why do the left blinker lights not work while the right ones do on my 1992 Lincoln Town Car?

I had this same problem with my 1994 Town Car. After closely looking (the third time) at all the lamps I finally found one that wasn't working. I found it by turning on the hazards. The tail lights have two bulbs, top and bottom. It isn't obvious that one is out when you just turn the blinker on and look, but if you turn on the hazard flashers you can compare left and right to make sure that both sides are balanced. If that doesn't do it, it could still be the flasher relay module, other bulbs, or the switch on the column. But be sure to check ALL the bulbs first. The Town Car has about 4 bulbs on each side which flash with the blinker.

Why should you use your turn signals well advance of a turn?

because if the other car that is stopped at a stop sign and you are going to turn on that street, the car stopped will know he can go.

---------

To signal is to indicate or warn. Signaling is to let the drivers around you know what you are going to do BEFORE you do it. To signal after you have already starting changing your direction is useless because other drivers will already know what you are doing... hopefully before you hit them.

It is similar to yelling "fore" while playing golf. Yelling "fore" after your ball strikes another player doesn't help them at all.
