Turn Signal/Hazard Relay Input Test

1. Remove the driver's side kick panel, then remove

the turn signal/hazard relay from the under-dash
fuse/relay box.

2. Inspect the relay and socket terminals to be sure

they are all making good contact.

• If the terminals are bent, loose or corroded, repair

them as necessary, and recheck the system.

• If the terminals look OK, make the following

input tests at the socket.

If any test indicates a problem, find and

correct the cause, then recheck the system.

If all the input tests prove OK, the turn signal/
hazard relay must be faulty; replace it.
