Status: offline 		I have an 84 n/a 944 but the turn signals do not work. When i hit the switch to turn the dash light does not blink but just stays lit but no bulbs flash on the car when either direction is turned on. The bulbs all work because the hazards make them all flash. Could it be the turn signal switch or maybe the relay?

If it matters the car does have cruise control (but hasnt worked in a long time) and does NOT have airbags :)

And if you had any idea, what is the general price that I should expect to pay for either one of those

Thanks!

Status: offline 		I replaced flasher relay with a new one.. no luck.  And i replaced every bulb in my tail light assembly on both sides. But even before i changed the relay and the bulb the hazard light would still flash and every other function would work properly.

Status: offline 		Well I went to advanced auto parts and he took a new one out of the box and walked out with me to let me check 2 see if it was indeed the relay, but even with the new one in no luck, so i just didnt buy it. He suggested that it may possibly be corrosion inside of the turn signal switch. I''ll check it out but ne more suggestions are greatly appreciated.
