- The turn signals in my 2005 VW Passat do not work. Today we are going to diagnose why the signals failed, including the hazard relay, checking fuses, and separating the circuits.

There are many methods of diagnosing turn signals not working. This is just one method. I used this method because anyone can do it, and you don't really need any special diagnosis tools.

BMW drivers be like "What's a turn signal?"
My hazards work but my turn signals and windshield wipers don't work.
Hello friends! In case the turn signals don't work and the hazard lights do work, you can try and check the hazard lights relay situated inside the hazard light button. Reinforce the contact between the metal slips as they to tend to go apart after some usage. This was my case, after 100.000 miles, and the fix was easy (pull out the button and pry the metal slips closer). I am currently at 170.000 miles with the original button/relay! Safe driving!
That wiring is a design flaw. Either rated too low. Or the insulation is rubbish. If you intend to keep the car longer than a fortnight, I'm rebuild the harness in that part of the loom with better quality wire cut out of another unrelated loom from a different manufacturer.
I have left turn signal issues with a Chevy Colorado. The left side flashes rapidly. While the front still flashes, the rear doesn't. The rear has 3 bulbs and 1 wasn't working so I replaced it twice and still the light won't flash. I checked the fuses and still no light. Any other ideas? Thanks
Well done, Charles! You missed one critical diagnostic step, though: You forgot to check for a BMW badge on the trunk lid! ;D
This freakin guy just solved my school bus light issue
I’m a bit late to the party. My back left turn signal is out on my car. Hazard doesn’t go. But my headlight works and the bulb has been replaced. Could I have a fuse problem like you? I don’t know how to fix it
Hi. I have a 2003 Hyundai Accent. A previous owner must have connected a beeper to the turn signal circuit. Every time you use the blinkers, it beeps like a truck backing up. The sound is coming from inside the dashboard. Am I probably going to have to remove the dashboard to disable this thing? Have you encountered this before?
On my 96 Toyota Avalon my front blinkers work but my rear do not. The blinker blinks fast as if it knows the bulb is out. I replaced the bulbs, but still no luck any guesses?
Hello HM, an excellent and thorough presentation for repair. I'm a mechanic myself and was looking on youtube for the diagnostics for a wiper switch for a 1997 Ford Ranger which has been giving me a headache. Your method of teaching is excellent, and though I didn't get anything dealing with my wiper switch, still, I learned your technique for solution of a short, and it is a good technique . . . excellent.
No questions today, just a thank you for taking the time to record and upload the knowledge
hey Charles. I have lots of specialty tools in my tool arsenal. your videos/expertise is part of it. thanks for sharing your experience. I've wrenched for over 30 years professionally but in reality my whole life (49).a good tech never stops learning. if I ever get a chance, have a cold one on me.cheers mate.
Awesome video!! I had some issues with my 03 V6 b5.5 Passat where I replaced my relay, and even the turn signal wand and still had no signals for almost 6 months. Well, finally one day while my mechanic was replacing my steering wheel he realized these sort of connectors that we're placed DIRECTLY UNDER THE STEERING WHEEL AIRBAG COMPARTMENT. Once connected, I had turn signals again, even connected my old relay just to discover it still worked fine and I'm pretty sure my old turn signal wand still works too. But this was just in case anyone had the problem and these AWESOME VIDEOS LIKE THIS ONE didn't help...
I have the same problem and was just going to replace the fuses and be done with it. Knowing that the headlights may be the cause of the fuses blowing saves me a great deal of time and money. Thanks.
YOURE A DANG GENIUS. SOON AS YOU SAID WARNING LIGHTS BEING CONNECTED. I PERKED UP, hit my warnings and signaled left and it came right on
Thank you for this video! I have figured that mine is a wiring issue and didn't have a clue as to where to begin looking. I will look inside the headlight to see if the problem is there. Thanks so much!
A great tutorial that is well articulated in layman terms.
Excellent video. Just bought a 95 wrangler. Turn signals don't work but the guy I bought it from had replaced headlights with LED. I think this video is the exact trouble shooting guide I needed! Will find out shortly. Thank you!
Great walk through. That wire insulation crumbling is unbelievable.
