Turn Signal Out?

[FreeTime]

2003 Tahoe

My left turn signal went out yesterday.....nothing.

I checked all the bulbs and fuses. Any ideas what I should look to next?

Thanks,
Dave

When you say you checked the bulbs, what does this mean? Did you put a brand new bulb in there?

Yes, new bulbs front and rear

Nothing is flashing, not the rear, not the front, not the mirror, not the dash.....nothing.

Possibly a loose wire somewhere.

Difficult to say. Could be anywhere.

A few month back, my heated seats as well as power windows on the drivers side only no longer worked. Problem was a wire with the insulation chafed off touching metal causing a short under the carpet in the drivers footwell.

Well it appears this will be a busy Saturday! Thanks.

I was also wondering if it could be the relay?

That could certainly be possible.

Sorry I could not be of more help.

Good luck!

With minimal info, I'm thinking it might be the signal switch... maybe???

Is there a way I can test that?

When you say you checked all of the fuses, did you actually check them all or just one the ones that said they were for the signals? Check every single fuse there is to check in both fuse boxes, the one by the drivers door in the side of the dash as well as the one under the hood on the drivers side if you haven't already. GM piggy backed many circuits upon each other and often times will blow an unrelated fuse due to a different labeling!

If you do that and still nothing, then I'd find the relay and see if that's messed up, then look at the signal switch in the steering column!

Yes, I went through the whole box inside and under the hood. Pulled and checked everyone.

Today, I will find and check the relay as recommended

Thank You!

Yeah, might be the relay but more than likely it could be a broken/chaffed wire or the actual signal switch going bad! Check around the steering column for any wiring that is touching anything that moves or turns!

As mentioned earlier, my thoughts as well.

If it is the relay, you would think both side would not be working.
