Nissan Repair: 1997 NISSAN SENTRA, turn signal switch, nissan sentra

Question
We have a 1997 Nissan Sentra that the turn signals are not working. We have tried replacing the fuses, but they blow as soon as we put them in.  Any suggestions?

Answer
Hi Sharon -

You have a short circuit somewhere. First of all, remove the plastic cover on your steering column to reveal the turn signal switch. Disconnect the wire harness at the switch and see if the fuse still blows. If not, it is probably your turn signal switch assembly. If it still blows, i would check the wiring to the lamps.

If you have a circuit tester that would help with diagnosis.

Points to check -

Light bulb sockets (check front and rear)
faulty wiring
Turn signal switch (bare wires)
Flasher for emergency lights
Brake light switch (above brake pedal)

Hope this helps Sharon -
