So I went out to my car after work, and tried to unarm my car (I have the stock alarm). The doors unlock, but the lights don't flash. They flash when I lock the car though.

And when I'm driving, my hazard lights don't work. Or my left turn signal. Or my right turn signal!!!

What's wrong? What can I check?

EDIT: 09-08-2006 I finally took some time to work on the car. Here's what I found... the wires from the passenger side sidemarker were rubbed through by my tire. Since I put the body kit on, i have no where to show the sidemarker, so I tucked it away.

Anyways, I soldered and wrapped the wires, and now I have partial use of my amber lights. When I lock my car, the amber lights flash. When I unlock my car, the amber lights flash. However, the green turn signal lights on my dash don't flash when the ambers flash. The emergency flashers and turn signals still don't work.

Does this still sound like a relay issue? Or are there other wiring issues I have to deal with?

Did you check all the fuses? Check the ones in the driver's side kick panel as well as under the hood.

Check fuses, headlight bulbs, turnsignal bulbs, taillight bulds, and this happened to me, if any of the wires going to your 4-ways, or the stick on the stearing column are unplugged they don't work.

Looks like your turn signal relay died. It's underneath your dash. It controls the turn signal lights and hazards.

I checked my fuses, they're all good. What does the turn signal relay look like? Where is it located? How expensive is it to fix?

It's underneath the dashboard by the clutch pedal next to the fog light relay. It basically looks like a square block. Honestly I couldn't tell you which one it was without digging out my parts catalog, but if you order a new one, wait until you get the part in and match them up.

yea thats all about right. Just dont mix up the hazzard lights relay for the fog lights relay, because both of them are in the same place. If you have fog lights in your car, try turning them on and listening to which relay clicks. That way you can distinguish between two.
