Ok. For some reason, when I first start my car, my turn signals dont work. My hazard switch/lights work fine. But for the first few minutes of driving, the turn signals wont work.

Any ideas?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!! Thats the funniest thing i have ever seen LOL....

Why would an Electronic Circut with a Flashing Relay need blinker...

And why would it be DOT approved

HAHAHAHAHA@!!!! Thats a great laugh

It's a hilarious site with all the products they have.
More seriously, I don't know but I just learned that the hazard flasher and the turn signal flashers are different. (The turn signal's flash rate depends on load so you know when a bulb is out, the hazard flasher's rate is constant no matter how many bulbs are out). So it could be the turn signal flasher, or its power circuit. If it fixes itself after a while then I guess the fuse is fine.

Both the flasher and hazard relays are behind the interior fuse box, pretty close to the clutch pedal.

I had a similar problem in the past, turned out to be a loose connection in the hazard switch. Apparently I didn't secure it all the way one time after having my dash off. It caused intermittent problems with my turn signals not working, usually right after start up.

multi func switch is most likely cause , for better assist go to hmaservice.com username ny005 password hdsuser , once in go to the 1st gray tab to the left says service info , once page comes up select model year etc and choose etm tab ontop etm= electrical troubleshooting manual there should be schematic for signals
