Turn Signals Not Working

Okay i give up. I search and search and can't find information that could fix my turn signals. I check all the fuses and the bulbs, and all of them is still good. I was doing LED to my hazard light and the 1st attempt was a failure. But then 2nd time, i fix and it and it work ( because it lid up). but then my turn signals is not working. The blinker is not lighting up, nor it signaling. I been driving around my base for 2 1/2 days without signaling. Please someone help.

you FUBARED your Hazard switch. if your hazard switch is bad, you signals won't work. find a good hazard switch and try it to see if it works right

ya if you disconnect your hazard switch the turns don't work. Recheck your work or order new hazard light.

I have a different problem on my 98 max. My passenger side front blinker is not working while the rear one is working (The driver side blinkers are fine). I checked the bulb and even replaced it with new one, it's still not working. This is actually the second time is happening. The first time, I gave up and suddenly (I think after I hit a bump) it started working again. This time, my wife hit another car (no damage to the cars), and it quits working.

I've got different opinion about the cause of the problem. It's not the bulb. It's not the relay because the rear one is working. It's probably the ground connection.

Anyone experienced the same problem?

It's under the steering wheel, up by your right knee ( it's black) i found it yesterday, hopefully the new relay flasher would solve everything when i get it this weekend. Thanks for the help guys

Just trouble shoot, get a voltmeter and test wires it will lead you back to the problem.

Well here is what i mechanic found out all the bulbs work, when i push i hazard switch all four signal come on no problems but when i turn the right signal on nothing happens, no green flash on the guage cluster. I've already replaced the stalk. There is no power going to the right side(meaning right signal bulbs front and back) when i turn on the right signal. So is this a flasher relay problem?

do they flash when you put on the hazards?
if yes, then your flasher is fine.

now you may want to figure out what you broke when you did the LED swap on the original one.

check your turn signal switch with a meter to make sure it is good.

I suggest you pick up the repair manual for the car.
The turn signal switch is on your steering column and the repair manual should specify which connections should have continuity in what positions.

I just wanted to say thank you. I checked my fuses which were fine and thought I would have to bring my car into the stealership tomorrow. After reading this thread I figured out that I had bent a prong on the Hazards switch when I was changing out the gear selector bulb for an LED last night. That bent prong caused Turn Signal Failure even though my hazards worked fine. I bent the prong back and my turn signals work fine now. Thanks again.

I'd suggest checking a website like honda-tech for answers, however in general I'd start looking at the wiring harness to the rear unless you are saying just the turn signals are out but the brake lights still work and the hazards still work in the rear too. if the hazards are working all around then my money would be on the switch being bad.
hope that helps
