The turn signal does not work

Brake lights, Hi-beam switch, wiper (including intermittent), and washer all function, but turn and hazard lights do not. I have replaced the flasher, but this does not fix the problem. Could the problem be in the combination switch (controls Hi-beam, wipers washer, turn signal and hazard lights) when all other functions of it work, or is the problem to be found someplace else, and if so, WHERE?

More than likely you have a wiring or even a ground issue.

So, we need to start by checking the voltage coming from the switch to the turn signals.

If there is no voltage, then we need to check power coming into the flasher.

If there is no voltage, then we have a fuse issue.

However, if you have power then we need to start checking the ground G206 and make sure it has good contact.

If it doesn't then we need to clean it and tighten it.

I am attaching all the info below that will help with this and the wiring diagram that we will need to use in order to do the proper testing.

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

Thanks
