MX83 Cressida - Turn Signals Not Working --- Help!!!

**Cressida25T** · 23-01-2009, 12:24 AM

Hey guys, been wiring up my headunit and ive run into a problem. The turn signals are not working.

The lights and dash will flash with the alarm and the hazard switch, and the fuse for "turn" isnt burnt - but nothing happens when I flick the indicator - on the dash or the actual lights.

When I was wiring the headunit I maybe cut a few wires I shouldnt have --- i.e. I cut wires that were plugged into a technics thing (i assume some sorta amp?) - I wouldnt think that turn signals would be plugged into that but?

pps. can I remove that technics amp? does it serve any purpose other than the factory stereo?

Thanks for any replies - driving without indicators is dangerous lol :S

oh and does the car engine need to be running to use the turn signals? i cant remember if they worked on acc lol

try chasing the wires back from the indicator stalk and see if there all joined up, i take it the lights worked before the headunt install ?.
Join those wires back up and see if they will work.

the turn signal lights wont work if the hazard light switch isn't hooked up, maybe you did something wrong there, also make sure you check all the fuses. oh and i think they the lights only work when you have igntion on the "on" function. pretty sure they dont work on acc

Do you hazzrds not work aswell? I would assume they dont either, and i would check the plug behind the upper volume knob (slightly to the left of). You would of unplugged it to remove the top two screws that holds the whole unit in place.
If the plug isnt in then a circuit cannot be created, and hence no blinkers!
