Ok, this morning I wake up and found that my turn signal doesnt work!

At first i thought it was the bulb, but it was fine cause it turns on and all.
But when i try to signal, it doesnt signal at all..i dont even get the little arrows inside the guage to show that im signaling.

Im out of warranty and acura dealership wants to charge me 102 dollars just to DIAGNOISE the problem...and they will tell me whats wrong.

What kind of stupid service is that? Make people pay to see whats wrong and let them decide if they want to fix it or not..ur not getting me to pay that 102 dollar...cause im asking here! ha

Does anyone know anything about this? Did one of the transformer burn out or whatever?

Could be your turn signal combination switch? If both your turn signals dont function at all, try your hazards and see if they work. If they work its not a turn signal relay or a fuse.

hazard doesnt work either.

ok then if the hazards dont work which is a seperate swith, its kinda hard to figure it out without the car, but you say the turn signals do lite up is that only the running lights? And when the switch is turned either way the turn signals on both sides including side markers dont work?

correct, its light up as a parking light but does not blink when signaled

ok i would look at the drivers underdash fuse/relay box and try to find the hazard/turn signal relay and see if there is another relay of the same and swap them out

Xx06SickspdTlxX

alright after looking at the ETM look at the underhood fuse box and find the turn signal fuse check to see if it is blown which im thinking it might be

do u know the exact location? under the hood or inside the car? which number is it?

i see sunroof, igop1, ighac..p/w rr l..and such but i dont see the signal one.

there's 33 number for the inside one..be helpful if u can tell me which number to check

Xx06SickspdTlxX

I couldnt really well you i would look under the hood first at the fuse box i am looking at an 7th gen accord etm so im sure its not the same number fuse there should only be 1 fuse in the under hood fuse box check under the cover and it should be a diagram and find the turn signal fuse. If you cannot find i will go out to my car and look.

Xx06SickspdTlxX

alright it is the same fuse #16 hazard

yeah i see the hazard, ima take a quick pic of it..cause i dunno if its blown or not..

Xx06SickspdTlxX

its pretty easy to tell but if your not sure you can take one of the same amps from your spares and try it.

here is a shot of it with my camera phone



is it blown?
ah yes..the connection of the middle piece is broken! i believe its blown..ima replace it now to see if it will work..thanks for pointing it out!

Xx06SickspdTlxX

its hard for me to tell but if you say the connection from the two sides is broken then it is infact blown

yup it a blown fuse....just replace it with the exact amp fuse.

Xx06SickspdTlxX

yepp, there should be some in that fuse box, just look under the cover and it should indicate which ones are spares

If it blows again soon, there's something else wrong.
It used to be that the bulbs had dual filaments, one for running lights, and one for turn signals. I don't know if our cars use those, though.
Aren't the rear signals LEDs? Are the fronts LEDs too? I'm going to check when I get a chance.

Xx06SickspdTlxX

They are dual filament bulbs in the front. If the fuse blows again there is a short somewhere
