Are you talking about your gauge turn signal indicators? Do your turn signals come on?

As for your headlights, are you using the correct wattage of bulb? Higher wattage bulbs screw up both the headlight relay and the DRL relay on Canadian cars.

BTW way welcome to NICO!!! Where abouts in Pickering are you? I'm up towards Port Perry.

For your turn signals, its likely the fuse. Look for the burnt one and replace with a new fuse .

Headlight bulb wattage is 55w, do not exceed. Like I said before it will destroy one or both of your DRL and headlight modules. Since there is no self way to check which or both modules are gone, I would take it too Agincourt Infiniti or the Bob Stephens Nissan store on Milner (between Morningside and Conlins) and let them have a look.

Do the emergency flashers work? I am thinking the flasher unit may have died.

Besides the headlight relay and DRL module the only other thing that I can think of is to check the wires that comnect to the turn signal socket. They are somehwat exposed. One of my wires corroded from exposure to salt and other chemicals applied to keep GTA roads clear during the winter. My turn signal wouldn't blink and my on gauge indicator sometimes would work and other times wouldn't. Replacing the wire was straightforward. I bought a replacement one for something like $7 from the dealer. I did have to jack up the front of the car though.

Like I've said before, I have a strong suspicion it's one or more of the relays, if it isn't the wiring. Bite the bullet and take it to the dealer. Let them figure it out.

Check to see if your hazard lights work.If your hazards don't work either it could be the hazard switch or a blown fuse.You just need a test light and to see if you have power to the hazard switch.
