Turn Signals not Working? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I bought my 240 like a month ago the hazards werent working but turn signals were good. Then last week the turn signals just randomly stopped working for a little but the problem fixed its self. Now they went out again, when you signal literally nothing happens no clicking, no light or arrows, nothing. Anyone know what this could be? Thanks.

Refill your turn signal fluid.

^^so funny and so helpful. Could be some loose wiring...sadly that will be a mess to find.

Do you know if your alternator is bad? Are your fuses good? When you turn on your lights or your dome light or if you brake while the car is running, does your idle go down? Because I once had a problem like this where my blinkers would just STAY on when I flicked the switch, so they weren't really blinking; just staying lit, and so I would just move the switch up and down whenever I was by a cop for fear of getting pulled over lol. But yeah, if I switched my lights on or braked, my idle would go down low and my car eventually began to just die whenever I stopped because of using my brake pedal. So then I had to rely on my ebrake for braking for a day or two lol. And for a couple of weeks it would NOT start up, no crank, and it took several tries with a portable jump start for it to barely start. I thought it was the battery at first but it ended up being the alternator, so I replaced it with an alternator from a Nissan Quest.
