Turn signals on an 01 Pathfinder

[NissanOwner11]

Hi.
I have an '01 Pathfinder that the turn signals have stopped working. One min. they work then turn the car off then back on they dont. Fuse behind change holder is not blown.

Any thoughts?

Does pressing the hazard switch do anything? If the hazard switch is unconnected or nonfunctional your turn signals will also fail to function. The flasher unit is also a possible cause, but check the hazard switch connection and functionality first.

Actually the hazard button hasnt worked. But the turn signals have still been functioning without a problem..it is only within the last couple days...since we have recharged the AC actually that the turn signals are working and not working.

Check the connection and contacts of the hazard switch. See here if you don't know how to remove the trim to access it.

If you need an extra hazard switch to test with I have one from a pre-facelift R50 that does not fit our trim, but it is electrically compatible. Or you can hit up a local junkyard to try to find a switch and flasher relay. The hazard switch is something like $40 new, not sure about an OEM flasher relay.

There may be some other relay that controls turn signals, but I can't look it up right now (need to leave to go take an exam).
