2003 ford taurus blinkers and hazard lights stopped. When I press in hazard button I hear relay click. When I turn on a turn signal I get no click.

Fuze looks good, I'd assume the relay is good since I can hear it click, however it is a used car and appears to be an already aftermarket flasher.

What fuse did you check ? My information shows two F2.36 15 amp. an F2.16 in the central junction box. both fuses supply the multifunction switch. Also in the central junction box is A17 electronic flasher module . I would bet that is what the problem Is but without testing I'm just guessing ! Do you own a volt ohm meter ?

Testimonial: "Turns out it was the flasher. Swapped it with another flasher relay. Thanks guys."

The hazzard lights use a different flasher than the turn signals. Are all bulbs stock type and good?

SOURCE: 96 Ford Taurus no turn signals or hazards

Take the turn signal lever and jiggle it, a lot. If they start working, the switch is bad. You can also turn on the hazards and take hold of the button and push it left , right , forward and back and see if they start working. If so, replace the turn signal/ hazard switch.

SOURCE: 1988 Ford Taurus Turn Signals do not work

Yes, it certainly could be the switches in the windshield wiper stalk off of the steering column.
From day one, my (used 14K) 93 Taurus turn signals worked in some positions of the wiper speed and not in other positions of the wiper speed. Fortunately, they always work when the windshield wipers are off.

SOURCE: Where is the turn signal relay, hazard relay, and

It is not the flasher if the hazards work, it is 1 flasher for both turn signals and the hazard lamps. It is in a relay block ( along with the blower motor relay ) under the dash, about in line with the steering wheel column ).

Try tilting the steering wheel all the way up, and test again.

The other quick test is to cycle the hazard switch a few times, to see if it cleans the contacts for the turn signal on the MFS,

How do I know if my flasher relay is bad?

Symptom of a bad or failing turn signal / hazard flasher is hazards or turn signal lights that do not function. If the flasher breaks or has any internal issues it can cause the lights to malfunction, or not respond at all when the turn signal lever or hazard light button are pressed.

Why does turn signal sound all the time unless the br(ake) is pressed?

Taryn, sounds like a faulty turn signal switch, or multi function switch is defective. Check all the bulbs and sockets first for damage wires, burnt wires or bulb socket, cheapest part to change besides bulbs would be the signal flasher or the signal relay if you want to go this route. Below are trouble shooting links you can read or watch.

2001 4 Runner blinker problem

The hazards use a separate relay. listen for signal relay clicking to locate the correct relay. Consult your owners manual for fuse and relay layout.

The flasher unit (turn signal and hazard) starts the clicking sound as soon as the ignition key is turned on.

sounds to me the switch is bad, as if its stuck in the turn signal position, could be the relay or blinker faulty. Replace the blinker/relay and if thats all good, its your turn signal switch.

Hazards dont work but blinkers do

Blinkers and hazards normally work on the same fuse. Sounds like the hazard switch has a problem.Get the hazard switch out and bridge the two connector wires to the switch. If the hazards then work the problem is in the switch.If it don't work you may have a problem in the wiring between the switch and the flasher relay.

When the blinker is flipped up or down on the column the tail lights dont respond. But the brake lights and the hazards still work fine. Whats the problem?

The turn signal flasher relay may have a problem.Turn on the hazards and follow the clicking sound to the source and usually the hazard flasher and turn signal flasher are very close to each other.Remove the one that is clicking and put it in place of the turn signal flasher.If the Turn signals then work you will need to purchase a new turn signal flasher relay.They are usually just a few dollars.
