Having a turn signal problem on Honda Accord 2003?

Question

Hi guys,
I am having problem with left turn signal only. Right turn signal is working fine. I double checked both front and rear turn signal bulb, and I don't think it's a bulb issue. I already checked fuses and there is no specific fuse for turn signal lamps.
Left turn signal won't light on the dash board either. No click/ticking sound can be heard when I turn it on. Hazard light won't make any difference. Where should I begin to look for?
Could this be a problem from a turn signal switch or flasher relay?
Where is this flasher relay located?
If I need to replace any of those parts, can I find them in local pepboys or autozone?
Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

it would seem that you have a problem with the ground or the connector for the left side directional. it could be the front or the rear. the first thing to do is to check the sockets that the bulbs plug into for corrosion or for loose terminals. More often than not the problems like this are loose connections. turn the directionals on and wiggle the wires on the front and rear bulb sockets to see if they start working.

you can check the grounds as well. the grounds are where the black wires from the sockets are bolted to the frame of the car. The ground for the left rear lights is inside the trunk on the left side under the panel that runs parallel to the rear bumper. It is a cap screw that holds several wires to the body. The left front should be grounded inside the left front fender; usually behind the battery or air filter housing depending on the layout of the engine compartment.

the only other thing in common is the combination/turn signal switch on the column and that is a real possibility if the grounds and the connections are okay. that is not something you can do by yourself as it involves removing the airbag and the upper steering column. I'm afraid that's what you're going to find is the problem if the other things check okay.

it is not a fuse problem; it is not a bulb problem; it is not a flasher problem.

hope that helps

Answer 2

Yes you can find parts @ auto zone . Check the blinker switch which is the multifunction switch and if that is OK your bulb is out in the dash it has no contact therefore no sound , The flasher in under dash in the fuse box now if one works its OK check the bulb in the cluster that is where you see the blinkers light up. good luck

Answer 3

White rear turn indicators are unlawful everywhere. they are able to purely be the two crimson or yellow. the only white lights allowed on the rear are the lights which come on once you place it in opposite. In different words, the backup lights.

Answer 4

Yes my right turn signals both front & rear
