Outstanding directions. Unfortunately, I am not tiny enough to fit underneath the dashboard on a 2007. I removed the screw in the dashboard piece and pulled out the bottom of the front piece (clipped in, so be careful), and then remove the under-dash piece entirely (clips everywhere, but manageable) so I could actually fit my hand in there. At that point, I wedged two plastic knives to pry apart the retaining clips from the relay and I used channel locks to pull out the relay. It is easier to work underneath the dashboard, on your back. Your directions were invaluable. Thanks!
Two plastic knives - that's brilliant and creative! Indeed, removing the panels and under-dash is the traditional way of going about this fix, from what I've seen in other videos, especially if you're a big person. I'm glad it worked out for you and I enjoyed reading your story about this fix.
I have a tough time slithering my way into my '95 Civic LX, at only 5'6", with a slightly muscular build -- and a little gut in the mix.; ] I have a friend, though, who has done mechanical work as a pro for years, and at about 6'4" and an easy 250 lbs. he has always amazed me in easily prying apart these retainers with his grizzly bear paws and getting into spots in vehicles like a contortionist or one of the 19 clowns in the tiny car that rolls into the ring at the circus. ; ]
@@MaximumTenacity Did you happen to notice if both of the actual lights were not blinking on the right side of the car? I might have the exact same problem except mine isn't working on the left.
@@MaximumTenacity Hello and thanks for your video - super detailed. I wanted your opinion. I have a 2007 Accord. It was in an accident (some jerk - hit & run) and after the headlamp assembly was replaced and I picked my car up from the repair shop, the turn signal was rapidly flashing. I immediately went back to the shop that fixed it and he reinserted the turn signal bulb and it blinked normally. Jump forward 1 month and it just started happening again. Is this coincidentally a dying turn signal bulb or a relay switch issue, or something else?
@@pleco101 I remember reading in the owner's manual (or shop manual) that rapidly flashing turn signal is a built-in feature that lets you know that one or more turn signal bulbs have burned out. This leads me to assume that the way it works is the car senses an "open" (very high resistance) rather than a "short" (very low resistance). Prefaced by all that, in conjunction with your story, my best guess is that some wiring/connections going to that headlamp assembly as a result of the car accident got damaged. The wiring might appear fine but one or more wires or connector pins could be damaged, thus causing high resistance or an intermittent illusion of a burned out or missing bulb. Most mechanics aren't thorough enough to trace down the root cause. Non-zero chance that it's just a fluke with the bulb - so replace it again. Keep the dead bulbs or at least take a pic that clearly shows whether or not the filament inside was actually burned out, this could help connect the dots or at least rule out some theories.
I know this was made a while ago, but this helped me repair my turn signals relay for my Accord. Thanks for the video, out of all the troubles I have had with this Honda, this was the (hardest to remove but easiest work AND cheapest to repair. Local car repair we were looking at $150. Thanks for the video. Hope you are still helping others. God bless.
Thank you so much. I just fixed today for 15$ buying part from local autoZone. Saved 250 $ dollars without going to local Honda. 100$ for diagnostics, 30$ for part and 120$ for labor.
awesome. works for my Honda Accord 2005 .... thought i would need to go to the Honda Service center.. bought that part for $32 off of Amazon (should have looked around more for better pricing), didnt have toothpicks, used cotton Q-Tips, cut at an angle, to wedge. Didnt use pliers, just my hand blindly rocking it back and forth, it popped out easy enough. The new part went in very easy, a little too easy, but couldnt pull it out, so I think its good. The buzzing from the signal lights are gone, so far. Drove around the block to confirm. The hard part is getting to see/touch the part. Was contemplating of removing the bottom part of the dashboard.
I sincerely appreciate your video. I tried doing it by hand, unsuccessfully. Gave up after 15-20 minutes of twisting my wrists to get up in there, and stepped back to dive in again tomorrow. I tried using small nails, but they weren't small enough, and kept falling out as I bumped them. Finding your video. I liked the simplicity and utility of round toothpicks. When the relay comes out, who cares where the little wood slivers go! The channel-locks idea is a *perfect* answer to the need to grip and pull the relay with hands out in the open, and below the dash panel. I have some channel-lock pliers, and will try that... tomorrow. :D
2 years later update: Success... it went quickly and easily. It has operated as it should since then. I forget where I bought the part. Could have been Rock Auto, eBay, Amazon... oh, well... Again, thank you for this clear video. Peace and prosperity to you.
Hey MT, thanks for the vid. I have a Honda Ridgeline and was having the same problem. I replaced the relay like you said and now it works again. Now if I can get my drive window to roll down - I will be set.
Great information, just what I needed. Releasing the relay clips was challenging, but I used two popsicle sticks to wedge uder each clip. Then the clip came right out. Thanks for a very helpful video.
Thanks for the video, exactly what I needed. I took your advice and follow the buzzing noise and was able to locate the relay. I replaced it and it fixed the issue.
I replaced my front and rear left turn signal bulbs. I then checked my fuses and it turned out that this relay was actually the problem. I didn't think it could be at the first since my right turn signal worked fine but the more you know. :-)
Well you just helped me because mine is doing the same thing only the left side works and not the right side.... that's what I wanted to know if this meant the relay was bad so thank you
Great tip in using the toothpicks to disengage the retainer tabs. Those little things are the biggest pain in the ass with harnesses and fuse blocks, *_especially_* under the dash. ; ]
Hi Great video, I have a 2008 Honda Civic Ex and the same thing is happening to my vehicle. Do you know where the turn signal/hazard lights relay is located on my vehicle? If so please let me know thank you.
I have a 2004 tsx all my lights work right blinker hazard lights etc etc except my left turn signal. Already try 3 different flasher relays and no luck. Any help will be apreciate it. Thanks
Just the way Porn teaches you the right way to have sex...you my friend; just taught us the best way to replace this part..awesome..and your camera work is as good as those in movies...very detailed..😂.thank you.
So , i have honda civic 2007 , turn light fuse dosent work but i can't find which is . Could you please tell me number of fuse under hood and car inside
So , i have honda civic 2007 , turn doesn't work but i can't find fuse which is . Could you please tell me number and name of fuse under hood and car inside ?
Where is the location of the right side turn signal relay in a 2012 Honda Accord Coupe? I couldn't find it; can someone provide a visual guide? It's unlabeled, making it difficult to locate the relay.
what if the lights are staying on? if i hit the hazards on or just turning signal, it wont blink. They just remain solid on instead of flashing. Would it be the same resaon??
@@MaximumTenacity I switched out the relay. Now one side is blinking fine but both the front and the back right blinkers blink too fast when I put my right signal on. If I have the hazards on the blanket normal pace. Got two relays from the junkyard. One was from a 98 or 99 (I have a 2000 accord) and the only other relay that I could find was from 2000 Coupe accord. I tried the one for the coupe might switch it out for the older sedan one. Thanks for your response!
Hi there! I have 2003 Honda Civic and I replaced the relay, but it's still having this problem. Any ideas on what else I can replace to fix this issue?! I prefer to fix it myself over a shop
If it's happening only during signaling in one direction; only left or only right, then it could be the front or rear turn signal bulb on that side. If not that then I'd check the fuses next.
Maximum Tenacity thank you! I actually did check the fuses and they were all good. I ended up putting my old relay back in and got lucky, because now they work for some reason!
Well that's good news. Could even be that one or more of the relay's contacts wasn't making a good connection. The way it sits in my accord, it's not impossible for someone to kick it by accident if their foot goes up there for whatever reason ;P
What would the problem be if the turn signals and the left headlight dont work? The turn signals only work if ipress the hazard lights button or if my car alarm goes off but not when imove the turn signal lever up or down. Would replacong the turn signal relay be recomendable? Any suggestions advice? thanks.
The turn signal relay is only responsible for the turn signals / hazard lights. And, if it is bad it will affect both the turn signal function as well as the hazard lights function. So if you're saying that those blinkers work just fine when you press the hazard lights button then it's not the turn signal relay at fault. The rest of the lights in the headlight assemblies go through the under-hood relay. That, or the fuses there, might be the problem. Then there's always the off-chance of an intermittent connector/wire problem.
Maximum Tenacity What is the intermittent connector? Would that be the stick for the turn signals? Or a wiring problem altogether? Yes I tried the hazard lights and they work fine. I haven't checked the fuses but if it were a fuse wouldn't it just stop working period? Under the hood relay. I will have to look that up then too. Thanks for the advice so far.
The way that relay was positioned and needing all the work just to get it off is unnecessary bunch of bullsht i mean really they couldnt have made it just slide on it like the other 5 relays right next to it
I have a 2004 tsx all my lights work right blinker hazard lights etc etc except my left turn signal. Already try 3 different flasher relays and no luck. Any help will be apreciate it. Thanks

Thank you! Thank you! 😘 Just fixed mine for 15 bucks!
Thank you for the video !
Very helpful instructions. I just had to wriggle the relay box a little to make it work again.
This man is the goat
This is VERY helpful. Thanks👍

Perfect instructions
Wish I would have found this video sooner
Could you share the bottom portion of the circuit diagram? I believe the 7.5A is for the turn signals. Thanks
Awesome video. Very helpful! Thank you :)
Thank you so much just fixed my relay
nice n really helpful brah.. keep it up.👍
Hi,
What if it’s stuck on...it’s not blinking, just stating on on the right...Would that make any difference?
Muchas gracias me ayudo mucho
In a 2002 Accord where is it located I would greatly appreciate it
TOOTHPICKS!!! A lot better than trying to press with one finger while trying to pull with while in a very unnatural position. Thanks.
This was really helpful. Thanks.
You're very welcome. :)
Do u have to unplug the negative battery cable
Thank You!
You're great!

Question can my turn signals work fine but hazard not ?
Is it normal for the alarm to go off too?
Can I use this same tutorial for a 1994 Honda Accord?
My right turn signal is completely dead but the left works fine. Guess I need to try this. Fuses appear good.
Did you try this and if so did it work ?
What if the drivers side front and back blinkers font work but the passengers side do

If it were the fuses according to a diagram online the fuses would also affect the hazard lights. Wouldn't it?
Hi how you guys doing, i have the same problem in my car...do you guys fix it and the end ,what do you do it , please tell me , thank you
and honda civic cupe 08?
Good work. What year was this Honda made in ?
It's a 2004; 7th generation.
Thanks.
Can someone please tell me why my truck keeps blowing relays?
I've changed this and I'm still not getting any turnsignals or hazards anyone have an idea on the verdict?
dont go to rock auto.. get ur parts from ebay guys..... use paypal for ur money back guarantee..ebay has everything when it comes to auto parts
2009 Civic do NOT have a signal rely. If your signals are flashing quickly, just replace the bulb and it should fix the problem.
Tried this and did not fix it, fuse is good. Anyone have any other ideas for a 2000 civic ex?
Did you ever figure this out? I’m having the same problem
I did this and it doesn’t work

Helluva lot a good the circuit diagram is without the switches. Knock yourself out FOOL!

Would no blinkers on the right side be the result of this relay ?
