Dam good thing its not Tuesday :smokin:

Ok I feel being nice today but this should really be in newbie forum.

First off it would be nice to include as much info as possible. I mean really what are you driving a moped,golfcart,heep? :shaking:

Second if you can trace wires from where you have no power you can usually find the problem? :confused:

Also this helps :beer:

Are you measuring before the fuse or after...If you're not getting juice into the fuse, the problem isn't your flasher system, it is whatever feeds the voltage to the fuse box (ignition switch, wire, etc?). Does everything else work (radio, wipers, etc)? Did you do any mods lately (like new stereo?)

Common problem and easy fix.
The ECU has a bad ground, intermittant. You need to tack weld the ECU chassis to the firewall.

If that's the case you need to atleast check the blinker fluid, top it off occasionally until you get a welder.

Ok, I'll throw you a bone here.

If you have no power before the fuse it could still be several things, a cut wire, a fusable link, a circut breaker or a bad light switch.
I don't know the wiring schematics of you vehicle but your best bet is to get a (FSM) Factory Service Manual or a Chiltons and see how and what it's wired through. Check all the connection points and repair if nessecary.
If it's wired anything like a CJ power route through the light switch and just that part of the switch could be bad.
Wiring is a PITA.

You should have posted this in newbie tech.

EDIT - The turn sigs have a flasher unit as well as the hazzards, check both.

Turn signal circuit is powered up by the ignition switch. Check power at the fuse block and from the block to the ignition. Or maybe there is a batt feed not getting to the ignition.

not enough voltage, replace the battery quick, if that doesn't work get a new alternator. :barf: seriously dude, where do you think your at :confused: at least move this to newbie :flipoff2: and get your self a light probe and a clue. :shaking:
