Default Turn signals won't work

My turn signals won't work, inside on dash or outside, no clicking noise inside - I've checked fuze, it is ok. Emergency flashers work, brake lights work, headlights work. Not sure what to do next. Thanks - Melody

Kinda need year and model. I guess we can assume it is a Ford. It can be a flasher, switch, lighting module. Please post the year and model of vehicle. Thanks.

There is a flasher up above where your right knee would be. There is a small bracket there that has 2 relays in it. The bigger one is the flasher. Click here for a picture. This is from Autozone. They may have a diagram showing exactly where it is. Good luck and let us know if that fixws it, or if more help is needed.

have not been able to locate that bracket/relay. I removed the access panel under steering column, and the are several relays in the fuze box, but I could not find the relays above the driver's right knee as you suggested.

what might i be doing wrong??

It is on a bracket and is installed with the relay on the top side. It will have a black cover on it. One side is just a little taller than the other. It is really hard to see. You just about have to lay on the floorboard and looh up under the dash area. It is not easy to get to. Hopefully the picture will show. If it does, the flasher is inAuxillary Relay Box 1. It is toward the center.

Thank you - after 4 of us checking the fuse it turned out to be bad - we installed the new relay & still didn't have turn signals, so decided to replace the fuse anyway - I now have turn signals.

Thanks,

Melody

Good job staying with it. You may want to invest in a test light to check fuses with. They are fairly inexpensive and take the guesswork out of the blown fuse.
