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.

Howie, I read your statement above and had to re-read the entire thread to see what moron said something about a doodiech, then I noticed it was I who typed doodiech. I have NO IDEA of what I was trying to type. It had to be one hell of a typo. I still can't figure it out.

Yes you meant to say doohickey and I meant to say thingamawadjacallit, nothing to do with those shoulder bolts that interior body shop installers have... "you know I've got 3 screws here I wonder where they went? Oh I'll chuck 'em (over my shoulder)". We would never do that, we keep 'em in the bits box for the next one. I've actually learned to stop taking old alarm boards apart for the relays etc. I costed them out and it just isn't worth it!

I did not mean to say doohickey. I seriously have no idea what I was trying to say. I just read it again and I am thinking I may have meant to type switch, maybe I misspelled that and the moderators corrected it for me. It appears that someone else also used the word in 2006 I really think they did it. https://www.the12volt.com/installbay/search.asp?KW=doodiech&SM=1&SI=PT&FM=0&OB=1&Submit=Start+Search

Don't laugh but that other post is mentioned 5 times on Google, it's a Youtube chanel (whatever that is), and an Albanian Back Flip  Can't you tell I'm taking a day off and I'm bored.
