Front Flasher is separate from the rear at the firewall connector. Find out if you have good front flasher bulb and with a test light if there is a good + and - for the front flasher.
Now, for the blown fuse. I suspect there is a bad ground and the dome light and the flasher lights share the same ground.
Explaining: If it is when you turn on the right flasher(This is the bad ground circuit. The right flasher will take a shortcut to the dome light and probably the dome fuse is rated low. That will blow the dome fuse (Overcharge on the dome fuse). Could be why the front signals don't work at all. (Flasher ground problem).
Hope it helps.

I have a 2003 GMC Sierra 2500 HD. The turn signals, hazards, dash lights, dome lights, 4wd indicator lights, and drivers side window switch's aren't working. Could this be the BCM?

SO YOU DID NOT CHECK HOOD AND IP BOX FOR BLOWN FUSES
OR MISSING,RELATED.
6.6L DIESEL??????????????????
car drives ok day night? heads work ,parks work ,brake lamps?
DOMESTIC CAR USA NOT THE EXPORT RIGHT?

TURNS SIGS ALL 6 LAMPS DEAD? OUTSIDE CAR FRONT /REAR
AND DASH TURNS,(Indicated) all 6 dead
and same question on hazards 6 flashing or what.
sorry no BCM on turns PERIOD. same with hAz
LT/TURN FUSE RUNS LEFT DOOR TOO!!!!!!!! IP FUSE BOX !!!!!!!
LEFT FUSE ONLY GOES HOT WITH TURNS SWITCHED ON
NOW WAY 3 GROUNDS FAILED, PERIOD
NOW RIGHT TURNS.
RT /TURN FUSE.,, NOW WAY BOTH SIDES ARE BAD, THEY ARE INDEPENDANT AT THE 2 FUSES BUT NOT BEFORE.
IM READING THE SERVICE MANUAL TO YOU.
IGN-E FUSE KILLS ALL TURNS DEAD(AND HAZ) UNDER HOOD .
THE MULTI SWITCH CAN FAIL FOR BOTH HAS AND TURNS.

SO THE TU\RN FLASHER IS BAD IN THE IP FUSE BOX.
ITS BAD.
THOSE FUSES YOU TOLD ARE ARE DEAD KEY OFF, YOU DO KNOW THAT RIGHT>?
TCM FUSE? IS THIS A DIESEL NO ENGINE TOLD AT ALL
AND WIRING IS NOT THE SAME ON, ALL , MOSTLY
YOU MEANT PCM-B FUSE?
PCM1 IS KEY ON ONLY , MAKKED GAS ONLY MUST WE BEG FOR ENGINES SO DONT NEED TO REAR ALL 5 ENGINE SCEMATICS?

SOME CAB LAMPS ARE DEAD, IF BCM FAILS OR DDM DOOR BRAIN GOES DEAD. AND GOES BACK AGAIN TO
LT/TURN FUSE RUNS LEFT DOOR TOO!
DOME LAMP ASK BCM FOR LAMPS. TO GLOW SUPER SIMPLE
SWITCH TO GROUND

AGAIN THERE IS NO TCM ON A GAS ENGINE , TCM IS PART OF PCM

THE PCM HAS 2 POWER FUSES, ONE IS HOT ALL THE TIME FOR MEMORY AND OTHER IS KEY ONLY POWER.

THE TCM FUSE IS CALLED IGN0 AND IS RUN FUSE ONLY
IM NOW CHASING SHADOWS. OF 6 ENGINES MIXED
I GIVE UP'

AGAIN THE BCM DOES NOT RUN THE TURNS OR THE HAZ
THE BLINKER BOX
HAS 2 INPUTS, HAS SIMPLE SPST PUSH BUTTON
NOT PART OF TURNS, AND 2ND IS TURNS LEFT AND RIGHT
SO USE BLOW OR MODEL BLINKS DEAD
LOOK MA' NO BCM
IF FUSE GOOD THE FLASHER IS BAD. FOR SURE HAZ BAD TOO.
AND THE LT FUSE BLOWN KILLS DEAD DDM, DRIVER DOOR BRAIN

2011 Chevy Silvarado 1500 LS turn signal lights on the front passenger side don't work and rear goes fast...

Circuit/System Description
Ground is applied at all times at G201 to the turn signal/multifunction switch. The turn signal lamps may only be activated with the ignition switch in the ON or START position. When the turn signal/multifunction switch is placed in either the TURN RIGHT or TURN LEFT position, ground is applied to the body control module (BCM) through either the right turn or left turn signal switch signal circuit. The BCM then applies a pulsating voltage to the front and rear turn signal lamps through their respective control circuits.
.
Did you check the RT STOP TRN fuse 15amp insturment panel fuse box.
Fuse Block - I/P
Left of the I/P behind the side trim panel
If the fuse is good , you could have a wiring problem or the BCM is bad .

Beings as everything that stopped working is on the passenger side, I'd think some wiring got disconnected or broken.

Taillights go out when dome light is on

I'm not an expert on the electrical part of the 04 maxima. But I noticed on one of the websites I normally visit that it could be a blown bulb on the passenger side vanity mirror. Here's the quote:

2004 Maxima Tail Lights and Parking Lights fuse blows when interior dome light is on Discovered that my tail lights and parking lights fuse (next to the window washer box which took me a couple of hours to find!) would blow everytime I turned interior dome light on. First I thought it was my Ipod and then maybe moisture was getting in through a small crack in the left rear tail light. Sat in my car last night with a box of fuses and did everything one at a time. It was the turning on of my dome light that caused the fuse to blow. It was instant. I have a blown bulb in the passenger side vanity sun-viser flap. I will change that tomorrow and post an update.


He hasn't updated on the results of changing his vanity mirror bulb. I hope this helps...I hate car electrical problems...So hard to diagnose...
