I installed a new car stereo last week & yesterday just noticed the blinkers aren't working. BUT I was rear-ended on New Years eve also & last week the bumper & exhaust system were replaced. I don't know if maybe I wired the stereo wrong or if the auto shop had to d/c the blinkers and didn't reconnect??

if the same is true if you try the hazzard switch as well, you probably have a circuit with an open fuse. you'll have to start checking the fuses. if hazzards work, replace the turn flasher as it probably went out. hazzard and turn flashers are usually separate.

Also, to replace the stereo in that car ya have to take apart the whole middle part of the dash & console..maybe I knocked something loose? lol Gonna have hubby check the fuses, but he's adamant that the repair shop did something.

Is the hazard switch mounted to the bezel that surrounds the radio? If so remove it and make sure the hazard doodiech is not unplugged.
