Blinkers stopped working suddenly
Hey everyone, Tonight on my way home i tried to signal for a turn and the blinkers wouldnt flash on at all. I couldnt see the turn indicator turn on and I couldnt hear the relay ticking. Could this be a bad flasher relay? What should I check first? Thank you all so much for your help!

I assume your headlights were working? Sometimes if my key is turned to far to the right, my A/C, headlights and other electronics (although not all) don't work. I just bump it slightly and everything works. But if your headlights worked it's probably not that (you said "tonight" but just checking).

I had a similar experience...a fuse was my problem. It was on the long skinny row of fuses with a plastic cover. I believe the turn fuse is the second from the right, may be third. It's one of the first three. 
Check that, it caused my indicator to come on, but not flash.

Thanks for the responses guys, I will definately go check it in the morning. The lights worked great. I also had a problem with my Heater tonight as well, it would only work on the highest setting. Gosh I hate electronics!!!!

Your heater switch has a resistor pack attached; that is how they reduce the voltage that in turn reduces the speed. Generally, these either burn out or the connections go bad. When this happens, you only have "high" speed.

Hmmm... Dustin - have you by any chance recently removed the face panel above your glovebox? Because with a sudden heating and flasher problem, I would think that maybe you could have left your climate sensor askew and your hazard switch disconnected (ends turn signal function).

Hey everyone, I just went to check out the fuse box and I cant recover any burned fuses in the box. I do see the flasher relay in G4, could this be the problem? I cant even hear it click when i turn on the signal to turn. As always, thanks for everything.
