No turn signal

I just purchased a 81 280zx. The turn signal signal and hazard lights do not work. All other lights work. I have replaced flasher and checked all fuses and bulbs. Any thoughts?

Welcome to ZDriver!

It may be the hazards switch located on the left side of the column cover. If that switch is not COMPLETELY on or off, the turn signals won't work.

In your case neither work? Check / replace the hazards switch.

Thank you for your suggestion. Neither the hazards or the turn signals work. Do you know if there are flashers for both the hazards and the turn signals? I can only find 1 flasher. Thanks...

You need more blinker fluid, Its hard to find more but some auto store do sell the stuff.

Im not making this up either you CAN buy "blinker fluid" Its in a bottle like brake fluid but its filled with distilled water for your battery lol

ANYWAYS for the real part now, I think you have 2 flashers, one for your hazards and one for normal use, You could either have one blown out, a short in your line somewhere, or you have a bad ground, Id start checking the wire and the switches, and doesnt hurt to replace the flasher unit.
