Signal Light problem

[therealblinky]

I got a wierd one. My signals decided to go on a strike or something. They will click once when i put them on, then just stop working. Its the same for both sides. is their a relay that could be burnt out? they started to do this a few weeks ago but they would run for a time then stop. but now they won`t stay on for more than 1 click. any ideas?

See page 231 of your Owner's Guide. Relay #1 on the top side of the fuse block.

Sounds more like the turn signal flasher went bad.

Relay #1 = indicator flasher relay = turn signal flasher.

OK so I thought i was checking the right thing, but i was looking in my power distrabution box, under the hood, but im on the right track now.

One question, how do i get the fuse block to come out and get to the relays?

Thanks to all who reply

I had the same problem with my 2005 eddie bauer. they would blink once and then stop. Both sides did this. Your relay is up top of the fuse panel on the drivers side. You have to drop the fuse panel to get at it. But mine turned out to be the switch itself. You can check this by after they click once and stop, turn the vehicle off and remove key, click the signals on and if the indicator light comes on, it means its getting power when it shouldn't and shorting itself out. Otherwise it will be your flasher relay and it is on the top of your panel. A real pain to get it. HTH.

BTW, I never removed my panel so I can't help you there. I had the dealer do it which was free, due to the fact that just bought it from them.
