Grrr.Electical Gremlins, please help me out.

OK, so my RS's turn signals and hazards don't work. I bought the car without the hazard switch, and I know they run on the parallel ciruit, so I had assumed upon installing the hazard switch, I would be free and clear.

WRONG!! Still nothing.

I can hear the relay click when I hit the hazards or signals, there are no blown fuses.


Since the car did have a front end impact with a deer, I am betting there is something going on with the wiring up front.

Any tips/tricks to removing the bodywork up front (Bumper/headlights) before I break something?

Thanks fellas.

Also, if anyone has a wiring diagram for this circuit, I will buy you lunch.

 

BE CAREFUL Dont' just go rpping off parts. Maybe you should just go buy a repair book, or borrow it from the library.

 

btw, this is a 2001 RS.

 

I think your hazard may be hooked up wrong. I had this problem before. If the hazard button is partially on, nothing else will work. Double check that first before moving on.

 

Partially on? It is fully snapped in. What do you mean?

 

I mean if the hazard button is partially pressed in(not fully engaged, but not fully disengaged) it will lock up all the turn signals and give the symptoms you describe.

 

found it! It was a relay.
