HI all,

I have a Nissan Altima 2008, with over 100k miles, that is now showing it's age. Some electrical issues started showing up.

The more pressing issue is the turn signals and hazards do not work. The dashboard lights work, but not the exterior lights. The bulbs are fine. I did my research and it points to a faulty turn signal relay aka flasher unit. However, I am trying to find this part and I cannot find it anywhere?

Is this part actually used in the 2007-2012 Altimas? Does it go by another name? Does anyone know where I can get it?

Any responses are greatly appreciated as this is a big safety issue, driving a car with non-working hazards and turn signals.

Thanks

Hello, you have to check the hazard switch wiring, and the turn signal wiring, it's controlled by BCM,see EXL127, check the wires and see.
