'991 Plymouth Acclaim - Turn signals

Turn signal stopped flashing the turn lamps

4-way flasher flashes nicely

Turn signal fuse good.



I replaced one flasher; does my car have a second or do I have turn signal
switch problem?

Thanks for all ideas!!

stupidest place, you have to remove the lower panel under the steering
wheel, (unless you can slide under the dash and look above the steering
column) because that is where it is located. swap the T/S flasher with the
hazard to see if it works, If it does get rid of the cheap plastic one and
get a heavy duty flasher.

The hazard flasher is the easy-to-reach one. The turn signal flasher is
hidden. To get to it, you need to remove the knee bolster (lower
instrument panel plastic cover, below steering wheel -- note the hood
release has to be removed/2 screws, and the instrument panel trim plates
need to be removed/simply pull 'em off before you can remove this panel).
Then remove the fusebox and let it hang. Look up past where the fusebox
was and you'll see the turn signal flasher held to a metal tab on the A/C
duct. Remove the wire plug and pull/twist the flasher to remove it. Note
it's held to the duct bracket by a square pip on the end of the flasher
can. You need the 224 "Twist Top" flasher, sometimes tough to find, dealer
will have it by application or NAPA number BP224TT.

And I thought the hazard flasher was hard to find/reach!!

Man, I was looking for a silverish metal can, like the hazard flasher.
Instead I needed to be looking for a green plastic can!

Thanks for your description. It was right on target!

You're welcome. Should be; I've owned two of them and my third is
currently being built.
