How can I reach my turn signal relay?
My turn signals and 4-emergency flashers are out.

What is the stock number and where can I get one??
thanks,

Check the fuses...no relays for these on our cars (that I know of). The fuses you need to look for are under the hood in the long rectangular box in front of the driver. The fuses are #13 (15Amp) for the hazard lights, anti theft and remote control and #27 (also 15A) for the turn signals and back-up lamp. There should be spare fuses in #1 and #38 locations (make sure they are the right amps or you'll have to go and buy some) which are color coded to correspond to Amps.

If the other items for the locations work (ie: back-up lamp and remote control, etc.) then it's not your fuse and you'll have to look at wiring, etc.
Good luck!

Had this problem on 97 V70. Solved it by removing hazard switch (4-way flashers), cleaning contacts, replacing little wheat-ear bulb, and putting it all back. Works fine now, and dead easy to do. See Haynes!

It worked! All I ended up doing was remove the stereo...and went to pop out the switch from behind...and it started blinking! Guess it just needed a wiggle....Everything works now.

When its a little warmer, I'll take it out and clean the contacts...

Thanks very much!!

This worked for me twice, then it went Tango Uniform...
The good news is that I oredered a new one the first time before
I found the "fix". Third time was not the charm, but it's a quick swap.
I suspect funky solder joints in the unit, but haven't gone after it yet.

Glad Yours Works! I wish more people worried about their turn signals...
