Auto Racing/turn signal problems

Question
I own a 1989 Toyota Supra. My turn signals as well as my hazards do not work. I checked all the fuses and they were all fine. I cannot figure out what the problem could be. Please help.

Answer
Hi Mike:

I really wish I could help- - - there must be sites that offer such assistance.

I work on race cars, Only on race cars. When my turn signals don't work and it's not a fuse or the flasher, I take the car to my local independent repair shop.

One suggestion though. You should never own a car without also owning the Haynes Repair Manual for that particular car. They are available through most parts houses, and also through local book stores.  Most are about $15.00 and worth every penny of it.

For what it's worth, I own a 2001 Toyota Solara (V-6 w/ 5 speed !) and it's a mystery to me.  I couldn't even find the spark plugs 'til I read that manual. NICE car though !!

Good luck!!
