My Turn Signals Aren’t Working! What You Need to Know.

Why Aren’t My Car Turn Signals Working?

Your safety on the roads in Shelbyville is important to the team here at Meineke. And turn signals are essential for safe driving. So when they stop working, it’s not only inconvenient but also a safety hazard. Therefore, the experts at Meineke in Shelbyville examine some common reasons your turn signals fail and how to address each issue.

1. Blown Fuse

  • Cause: Electrical surges can blow the fuse controlling the turn signals.
  • Fix: So, locate the fuse box (refer to your vehicle manual) and identify the turn signal fuse.  And if its blown, replace it with a new one of the same amperage.

2. Burnt-Out Bulbs

  • Cause: Like any light bulb, turn signal bulbs eventually burn out.
  • Fix: So, check which bulb isn’t working by turning on the signal. And then replace the faulty bulb with a new one, ensuring it matches the specifications in your vehicle manual.

3. Faulty Turn Signal Relay

  • Cause: The relay (flasher) that controls the blinking rate can wear out over time.
  • Fix: So, replace the turn signal relay, which is often located in the fuse box or under the dashboard.

4. Damaged Wiring

  • Cause: Corrosion, fraying, or disconnects in the wiring can prevent the signal from working.
  • Fix: So, inspect the wiring for visible damage. And if you find frayed or corroded wires, it’s best to have the ASE certified mechanics at Meineke on Midland Trail in Shelbyville repair them to avoid further issues.

5. Bad Turn Signal Switch

  • Cause: The switch in the steering column that activates the signals may wear out or become faulty.
  • Fix: This usually requires professional repair, as the switch is integrated into the steering column and airbag system. So call Meineke in Shelbyville. Because they have the expertise to help you out.

6. Low Battery or Electrical Issues

  • Cause: A weak battery or other electrical problems may affect the turn signals.
  • Fix: Test the battery and alternator to ensure they’re providing enough power. And then, recharge or replace the battery if necessary.
