Item # 6 on fuse/relay panel as shown in diagram they are the same thing on this car.

Here is a guide to help test it.

Check out the diagrams (Below) blinker wiring diagrams so you can see how the system works.

Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.

I was told there is a separate flasher for both turn signals and hazards. Hazards still will work but turn signals do not.

There is not a separate flasher or relay for the turn signals and flashers. They are run out of the same relay.

Take a look at the wiring diagram below where we trace one of the wires coming from the lamp assembly and going to the relay.

Please run through this and let us know what questions you have. Thanks
