Hello,

I have a 2003 Dodge Durango Sport and the turn signals are not working. After digging into it I came to find out that there is no power for the switched power on radio, turn signals, or cigarette lighter at the fuse panel. I assume that all of these are fed by the same source. Any idea what and where I should look?

Thank you for your help.

Check your owner's manual for your cigarette lighter fuse.

Also,

The separate fuses for the cigarette lighter, turn signals, and radio are all good. In fact every fuse under the hood and side panel by drivers door are good. But there is no power at the fuses for the 3 separate ones.

Something I didn't catch: turn signals are usually on an ignition circuit, not an accessory circuit.

Use a multimeter and verify your wires at the ignition harness have power when they are supposed to: https://readyremote.com/main.asp?action=select&yr=5312&product=Remote%20Start&make=Dodge&model=Durango#

If not, your ignition switch may be bad.

your absolutely right. I miss spoke on the accessory. I will check the info you posted geepherder. Hopefully I will find something there. There was a rats nest under the dash (old alarm and some interior after market lights) that I tool out the other night. Plus a ton of t-taps. All of that is out now so it should be a little easier for me to look at.

I will check to make sure everything has power that should. Seems like it would be one main wire that feeds those three items. (Cigarette lighter, radio, and turn signals.) There is no switched power at the radio so I assume it is all related.

Thanks Again

So after digging into it a little more all the wiring looks ok. Since the radio didn't work I took it out and connected the constant power wire to the switched power wire. Of course the radio worked after that but also the blinkers started working. So it back fed the power to the blinkers. Any ideas now where I should look?

Thank you for your help.

If/when the problem returns, you need to test the wires at the ignition harness to ensure they are getting power when they should. Once that's done, move on to your relays/other wiring.
