Anyone ever experience this? My left blinker is on without me pressing the stalk down to turn it on.

 

I've had it happen on a Isuzu. I just replaced the switch. It was relatively cheap (~$10) if I recall correctly.

 

Now both blinkers aren't workkng and I noticed a faint burning smell. What could it be?

 

Which switch?

 

Sounds like your low on blinker fluid. Lack of lubrication is probably causing the burning smell. Usually the left goes out first too when you have low/no blinker fluid left.

 

the indicator switch

 

its also called the `turn signal stalk`
if you have smell or smoke that's electrical wiring fire!! do not proceed!!!
ck the relay for t/s--in box under hood

 

So now both right and left blinkers stopped working. Replaced the hazard relay and nothing. Any other suggestions ?

 

yeah like we all said- the turn signal STALK- the part you use your finger on- that's failed- it can be replaced separate from the main thing all the switches bolt to

You MIGHT be able to restore with some CRC electrical spray cleaner- but more likely its going to be replace
Especially with that burning smell! that's NEVER a good sign!!

 

Just curious but what type of lighting are you using LED or regular bulbs ?

 

Thanks guys. I'll look into the stalk. It's weird because when I press down or up it starts to click as if the blinker was working but then stops.

FYI: all stock everything. No LEDs or anything like that.

 

the type of light is not the issue, its the simple fact the cars past owners have used the system many thousands of times- to signal intent of lane change or turn, via use of blinker!

for those wishing to convert to LED turn signals or dash/interior lighting = there are threads on led lighting for every part of the car in DIY or performance sections

 

Replaced the turn signal stalk. Aka the headlight switch. $25 off a totaled TL.

Thanks for the help guys.

 

Doh! of course!
forgot its other and more important job of that switch is headlights- so its called that
