    Hello,
    '98 4runner Limited, 4x4, v6. Daily driver. Turn signals and hazard lights stopped working, no clicking, no lights, no sound when engaged.

    Replaced the fuse. Replaced the flasher relay. Replaced the turn signal switch.

    The turn signals and hazards still do not function at all. The old and new turn signal switches work fine for turning the headlights and brights on.

    I was told that there is power going into the old turn signal switch, but no power coming from it. I had to take the car back from the mechanic who told me this without anything being fixed, then replaced the switch myself. Still nothing.

    Any advice on where to go from here would be very much appreciated.

    Thank you all,

    Does the OBD throw out any codes?

    No CEL, have not checked for codes due to that.

    You need to get a multimeter and check voltages at the relay. Ideally get a factory service manual wiring diagram.

    Disconnect the lights and apply 12v to them to see if they light.

    You have to diagnose the problem.

    Also, did you go to LED's? If so, swap back to OEM.
