Blinkers not working

[MaverickAus]

Hi guys and gals,

The other day I went down the street the blinkers were working. Stopped the car locked it did some shopping. Got back in took off no blinkers, went home. Replaced the combination switch (blinker switch), replaced the relay , replaced the fuse, checked for power to the fuse, still nothing. The hazard lights work all the other functions of the combination switch work just no blinkers.
Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance

P.S. VS Acclaim

Thanks myvessv8 I believe you are correct, I have ordered a new hazard light switch but while I'm waiting for it does anyone know how to get around it while I'm waiting for the new switch?

I couldn't get around it (sparky) and tried everything, what did work for a bit was electronic cleaner sprayed in it etc but only lasted a day or two

as a temporary solution run a short bit of wire from fuse 14 or any power source to one side of the flasher unit ..you need to put power on the terminal of the flasher unit that would normally be fed 12v from the hazard switch.........its the the terminal of the flasher wiring plug with the blue/white wire which is positioned on the side right of the 3 flasher unit terminals as you look at the fuse/relays under the dash...just pull the flasher out spread out the strands of the temp stripped wire and push them into the lug and push the flasher back in on top the wire to make a good contact ...same for the fuse connection


have found in the past that people hang things(mobile phone holders deoduorisers etc )from the vents above the hazard switch and it sits on top and touches the hazard switch button and brakes contact...move it and it all works again

yeah that works, have learnt a lot more about cars in the last few years, since rebuilding one or two older cars, but at the time 5-6 yrs ago hadn't played around much
