I dont wanna turn

[djkoke18]

well, just recently, I noticed that my cars turning signals stopped working. They were fine the other day. Now, when i use the turn signal lever, the turn signal indicator light stays a steady green instead of blinking and its not making that clicky noise either. Any ideas???

[fierochris]

have you checked your blinker fluid?
just jokeing.

check of you bulbs, make sure there is no excessive bulb play
and clean contacts, then coat with new bulb grease.

if that dont do it then you may have an eletrical issue inside the steering coloum

Cool, where can I find the relay? What does it look like?

[wizkid918]

in your fuse box panel under the hood, G4 is the location, should show on the map under the lid.
Part # 1H0-953-227-M5044 right here @ pelican

Thank you! But isnt my fuse box under my steering wheel?

Look in the owners manual. If you don't have one I'll scan the page. I replaced mine and it still didn't fix it. I was told on here I needed a new switch. So hope you got a lot of $$ if you want a new black one. A new brown one is about 1/3 or less the price. You can check out my post about this too, "Damn turn signals, i need help" http://forums.pelicanparts.com/showthread.php?threadid=263228.

oops, i was assuming it was a late car. yes, early car its under the steering wheel, should be the same sort of thing though, look for a map on your fuse cover.

[djkoke18]

ok. i saw the relays. i didnt see G4 but im sure its there. now remember, the turn signal light does light up, but it doesnt blink. Now, can anyone explain y hot air blows through my vents when i drive???

[fierochris]

dont 944s have a flasher unit?

[djkoke18]

yea, but now it doesnt blink. it used to.

What i mean is a replacible flashing unit. once these burn out
the lights will only come on and not flash, in some cases they dont completly go out but flash very very slow.

at least in american GM cars. i was wondering if 944s had them
of if it was strictly a relay

[wizkid918]

it probably isnt G4 on the early cars, i'de imagine the layout is different

[djkoke18]

Oh, I understand now chris. And thanks for the info. U 2 wizkid. Ill buy a relay for it and see if thats the problem. anybody have any ideas on the hot air??

[pkt1213]

Yeah. I bet the bracket is broken the holds the cable. I know it is in my car and I couldn't figure it out for a while. It's a black slider cable. You might have to take the carpeting off the side to get to it. Mine is already gone.

Read the top section.

try reseating the connections on the back of the fuse box, mine work out on me, and then my turn sig. do the same thing

For the flasher, it's the relay itself, it's failed inside.
There is a variable resistor on the board, and it has gotten old/dirty, and is no longer making contact at all. The variable resistor is used to adjust the rate at which the lights flash. If it goes open-circuit, the time goes to infinity. At least this is the case with the late flasher units. I'd imagine they are the same on the early cars too.

In the case of the late cars, this leaves the light inside off, but the outside lights on (they are opposite on late cars).

after reading this thread i started wondering about my own 944.
and it seems all work but the euro only flashing marker light
on the aft of the drivers side fender. the passenger side works fine
and i also noticed the left turn signal pulses considerbly faster than the right. explanation?

improper wattage of the bulbs.
