Default Turn signals work but dash doesn't display

I checked all my fuses inside the cabin and under the hood and I can't seem to find out why I my dash does not display the turn signals.

To further explain, my turn signals do work but the dash does not display the turn signals if they'r working.

I don't even here a relay working....

+1 I doubt this is a do-it-yourself type thing. Good luck

Just throwing a dart in the dark here to maybe help you but it is possible that your dimmer switch for your dashlights has taken a crap.

Wouldn't that affect ALL of the interior dash display items (NOT just the turn signals)?

BUT maybe a seperate relay for the turn signal that feeds off of the dimmer switch is faulty??

In any event, see your dealer....

I've never had this happen...not even in the POS Pontiac Fiero I owned...Just little stuff like rebuilt tranny and rebuilt engine...yeesh!

Never heard of this one. Sometimes my tick sound doesn't happen but the light always comes on.

Same thing happened to me, the head tech had it for three days and finally found a loose wire. No charge and dealer paid for a rental.

Power wire to the dash lights, its not in the dimmer, because the indicator lamps are not in the circuit.
Because both dash indicators are off, even with hazard check earth of flasher relay circuit.

The EXACT same thing just happened to me after switching out my headunit. Do you think I knocked a wire loose or something? Hey Mang where would I check for those wires at. Thanks!

Where was the loose wire?

Behind the gauge cluster or under the dash or even next to a fuse box?

It could take me hours if not days to find this loose wire.

Maybe a blown fuse? Check your manual, it should say which one.
