Is it against the law to drive without using turn signals?
Provided you don't need to use them (i.e. change lanes, pull over or turn a corner), yes.
Where is the turn signal relay on a 1995 Oldsmobile 88?
Are you sure you don't mean fuse? The turn signal fuse is under the drivers side dash in the fuse box. The inside label of the panel will tell you which one.
If your turn signal is not working, also check the flasher. They are a type of relay too, and located in the shroud area next to the steering wheel. If you have an a/c car, you will need to drop the drivers side shroud cover to get to the flasher. Easy fix, just takes about 20 minutes to undo all the bolts. (9/32 or 7 mm) for the dash, 10mm for the nuts holding the kick panel.
Would a burnt flasher relay prevent a 1997 Dodge Grand Caravan from starting?
That would be very unlikely.
One of the front blinker bulbs is burnt out. Replace the bad bulb and the blink should function normaly. you have a front right turn signal bulb that is burned out. the resone it blinks fast is there is less load on the flasher .
Where is the flasher located on a 1993 Nissan Maxima?
Remove the passenger side access panel. The turn signal relay is on a bracket about 6" to the right of the steering column. It is grouped with a larger unit, a "door lock timer" (about the size of a bar of soap, with two cable harnesses). The combined unit is held with two Phillips screws. The blinker relay (cylinder about 1" x 2") is on the back side of the bracket and has a single harness (3 pins). This relay slides off the bracket for "easy change" (after all the disassembly).
In my case, the relay was fine. The turn signals had stopped working because I had removed the Bose stereo system, which required unplugging the 4-way flasher. This flasher is connected with the turn signals, hence the problem. 4 hours later, felt kinda stupid, but at least I got it fixed "at home".
How to replace a turn signal lamp on 1997 Chevy Venture?
the turn signal and headlights are 2 different sections, although i urge you to loosen both sections. locateand loosen the black plastic asymbly that holds the headlights together there are 2 bolts located on both ends of it, then loosen the side bolt that hold the turn signal asymbly and take it out( these 3 bolts are all the same size and clearly visable) there are 2 long prongs that holds the end of the asymbly that go into 2 slots and there is a clip that holds the 2 sections together,( this is located where the headlights and turn signals come together,, be extra careful when separating the 2 pieces, as the clips will become flimsy and will not fit back together snug. separate the 2 pieces by gently wiggying the clip part first,,then pull section out (the long prongs), replace the turn signal bulb by twisting and then pulling out.Replace in this manner.align the 2 long prongs and insert into frame, then slowly align the clip and soflty push until it clicks into position, retighten the bolts on the headlight part, then the side botl that holds the turnsignal assymbly together. I cant stress enough to take your time and be careful of the clip. Its a shame the way they made this, but having done this numerous times, i learned the hard way. Good Luck!
What if your front turn signals don't work but the rear ones do on your 2000 intrigue?
The sockets for the front turn signal often get too hot and fail on these cars. Bad design. They half melt and have a bad connection.
The year, make and model would help but, check the fuses, the bulbs, the flasher relays and last but not least, the switch.

Where is the flasher in a '94 Chevy Cavalier?
Hey Linda==Look at the left side of the steering column under the dash. GoodluckJoe - If you are sitting in the drivers seat it is to the right of
the steering column, if you are on the floor looking up, it is on the left.
You need to remove the plastic panel (three screws) and look to the right of the column all the way to the right where you removed the panel. Sometimes the clip that holds the flasher jiggles loose from the dash and the circuit is incomplete. It must be reattached to a metal portion of the dash. You may not need a new flasher. miramesares
If you're looking for the hazard light flasher it's located to the bottom left of the floor of the driver's side (to the left of the brake pedal). If you're looking for the signal light flasher it's right near the steering column. It's a little harder to find but it is there. .
You'll need a 10mm short socket or ratcheting wrench(ideal because of small space) and a 6mm socket(use an extension here to save your back). Remove the plastic panel covering the base of the steering column (3 x 6mm hex screws w/washers, left, center and right). Don't confuse this with the small plastic box immediately around the base of the steering wheel. Remove the plastic panel carefully so as not to break off the retaining tabs toward the top. On the right near the base of the exposed steering column you should see a silver electrical box about the size of a box of matches with a wire plugged into the high end. There are 2 10mm hex screws holding it to the frame. Remove them and move the box out of the way. Avoid unplugging the wires. Lie on your back and look up into the area near the column and locate the flasher. It should be on the left up high as viewed from this position. There is a retaining clip that holds it in place. Slide it off the metal tab and it should be easier to fish it out. Replace the flasher and then reverse the procedure used to get at it. Some engineer had fun creating this configuration!! Allow an hour.
I am actually having this problem.. here is mine... see if it relates to you.
My headlights (on regular, low beam) do not work. I cannot get them to come on in the high beam either. But, if I pull the blinker arm forward for the passing flash thing, they light up on high-beams (only for as long as I hold the lights on).
I have found the problem to be a thing called "Multifunction Switch". My car is a 1997 Ford Taurus G....
See if that helps you any. It was my underlying issue and mine is getting fixed tonight. :) Good luck

Should you turn on your signal way in advance of your maneuver to turn or change lanes?
It is a matter of experience. Some text books say 5 seconds before. If you see a gap in the traffic you may not have 5 seconds. In any case, you have to be sure that the people around you know what you intend to do. If they don't you may become a statistic.
I had a front left flasher problem on my jetta 97. The bulb looked OK but you could notice the solder on one of the contact on the bulb was some sort of melted a little. That was enough to make it stop working. Even tried to pull on the contact blade in the connector. It work for couple of days and bam ded again. Replaced with a new bulb and flasher worked again. Hope it help someone. == == the Flasher Or a bad turn signal switch
