Most of the cars have an internal timer in the computer that control flashers.

Why does my turn signal light not work but brake and tail lights work fine

There are a few possible reasons why your turn signal light is not working while your brake and tail lights are functioning properly:
  1. Blown fuse: The turn signal lights are connected to a different fuse than the brake and tail lights. The fuse for the turn signals may have blown and needs to be replaced.
  2. Turn signal switch: The turn signal switch, located on the steering column, could be malfunctioning and needs to be replaced.
  3. Wiring issue: A wiring issue, such as a broken wire or loose connection, could be preventing power from reaching the turn signal lights.
  4. Flasher relay: The flasher relay is responsible for controlling the turn signal lights. A faulty flasher relay could be preventing the turn signals from working.
  5. Signal/light module: Some cars have a signal/light module that controls the turn signals, this could be faulty and need to be replaced.

Turn signals not working

all else on car works perfectly (other shoe drops??????)
waring 1: no scan tool, you will fail (99%)
is battery fully charged to 12.6vdc rested or at 10v?
all 4 corners dead?
not working means dead?, flashes too fast/slow or dim? or they stick on? (5 modes to fail not counting L/R and haz)
do the hazards work? (prime evidence and not stated)
most cars before 2007 have fuse marked TURN.
but not this car... its not at all like older cars....
did you scan it first after the fuse tests? any PCM scan tool.?
2009 WK jeep
the FSM chapter 8L shows the huge list of errors the lamps can fail. DTC errors.
in fact 8 blinker codes, ! DTC errors,

there is no fuse, just for turns, (trailer lamps fuse 19)

read this excerpt from the FSM book.

The turn signal system operates on battery current received on a fused ignition switch output (run) circuit so that the
turn signals will only operate with the ignition switch in the On position. The hazard warning system operates on
non-switched battery current received on a fused B(+) circuit so that the hazard warning remains operational regardless
of the ignition switch position. When the turn signal system is activated, the circuitry of the left multi-function
switch and the FCM will cause the selected (right or left) turn signal indicator, front park/turn signal lamp, front side
marker lamp and rear tail/stop/turn signal lamp to flash on and off. When the hazard warning system is activated,
the circuitry of the hazard warning switch and the FCM will cause both the right side and the left side turn signal
indicators, front park/turn signal lamps, front side marker lamps and rear tail/stop/turn signal lamps to flash on and
off. The Front Control Module (FCM) can also activate the hazard warning system lamps.
end quote)

the module front control MFC, runs this
and it uses fuse 18 , if 18 blows the module goes off line and vast things fail and huge numbers OF DTCs store.
and fuse 27 MFC
MFC needs these fuses good.
keep in mind nobody has MFC internal schematics...so........



this module drives left and right side front and rear.
electronic drivers, not fuses.
the MFC is here.
the fuses are 12,13,18, 20,27 that power MFC.

I have tail lights,brake lights,and hazard flashers but no turn signals even though replaced switch and checked fuses

The turn signal flasher and hazard flasher are different parts.
The turn signal flasher can be hard to find and not always available from a parts store. On some models it is a dealer part.

2001 Town & country brake lights not working, but the third brake light and tail lights are working. I also just replaced the brake light switch thinking it was the problem, but it wasnt

I think the brake light and turn signal are on the same bulb on these, correct?

If so do the turn signals work?

If they do than I would bet that the turn signal switch itself is the problem. The power for the brake lights is routed through the switch (except for the third brake light that is supplied power directly form the brake switch). The turn signal switch will interrupt power from the brake switch and supply power from the turn signal flasher depending on if the right or left turn signal is engaged.

Sometimes wiggleing the lever or pushing the four way flasher button with the brake pedal depressed will intermittantly cuase the brake lights to work. If this is the case than it is the turn signal switch that is causing the problem.

My 94 buick regals turn signals and brake lights dont work the head lights and tail lights do work we replace the bulbs flasher relay and fuses what could it be

could be brake light switch but i would be more inclined to think the signal switch is bad, the brake light circuit goes from the pedal to to the turn signal switch then to the taillights

Brake lights only show on center 3rd high stop tail lamp

Yes, the flasher does interrupt the brake signal. you do know that this is a push on, push off switch. Some try to pull this switch to turn off flashers, but, it has to be pushed again to turn off.
