Okay...the signal fuse powers horns, dash indicator lights (neutral, OD etc)
so all that is working fine?

the other common items are the wiring to the bulbs and the bulbs....doubt all 4 failed at once.

Looking at my wiring diagram, it looks like the system was designed so the hazard circuit and the turn signal circuit cannot be used at the same time, It appears that the common component to accomplish this is the Hazard Relay (not Hazard Flasher Relay). Basically the power to your Turn Signal flasher is fed from the Hazard Relay if your Hazard Switch is off, and when the Hazard Switch is ON, the Hazard Relay switches and cuts off power supply to Turn Signal flasher, and feeds the 4 turn signals for 4 way flashing.
So I suspect possibly either your connector at the Hazard Relay is loose, or the relay has failed
I'll try to find location for you, looking for a 6 wire connector with the following colours
Brown/White, Brown, Brown/Red, Brown/Green, Chocolate, Dark Green.

It may be under the right side cover....there is one flasher relay there...but will do some research.
You realize the Venture has a 5 year warranty?

    okay...remove riders right side over....you should see the Turn signal flasher relay.
    It has 5 wires...
    brown/red, brown/white, yellow/red, black, white.

    With multimeter set on DC volts...check for voltage on the red/brown wire,with key on and hazard flashers off....you should have 12V, then when you switch Hazard flasher switch ON, you should have no voltage. If you have no voltage with hazard switch on or off....it means you need to look at the Hazard Relay I mentioned previously....according to my manual, its in the fairing in behind the riders left speaker.
    Any chance you were working in the fairing and dislodged the connector? Hopefully its just loose.
    If you need further help let me know.

Trouble shoot turn signals 1994 Ford Ranger 2.3 engine

Diane, There are 2 separate flashers on your vehicle, one is for the emergency/4 way lights and one flasher is for the signal lights. It may be worth the couple bucks and replacing the signal flasher as a first step. Recheck bulbs/sockets, fuses/relays, flasher. If all looks good possible signal switch is bad. Remove switch and try to clean contacts or replace switch. Check the attached links,instruction and guides, Good luck

1970 beetle how to fix flashers

1. Do your emergency flashers work?
Check all your fuses, make sure they are getting a good contact.
If your emergency flashers work, it may be a faulty turn signal switch.
If your emergency flashers work that will eliminate the flasher. The one flasher works both turn and emergency signals.

Turn Signals quit working

Sounds like the turn signal flasher is going bad. The easy way to find wher the flasher is hidden is turn the turn signal on and find the clicking, that is the flasher. The emergency flashers work fine because they use a different flasher.

No signal lights at all and no emergency flashers

you need to check the "combination turn signal/hazard flasher/daytime running lights module"
it is located in the junction block,the junction block is adjacent to and left of the steering column,you need to remove the lower dash panel below the steering column,then remove the steel knee brace.

Sounds like the flasher unit to me. Normally the emergency flasher and turn signal are separate.

No turn signals but flashers work

There a two modules 1 for the turn signals and 1 for the flashers. Look under your dash around the steering wheel and fuse box area for one that is in the wiring harness.

1995 F150 the turn signals do not work, but

Look in the fuse panel and the turn signal flasher is the big round most likely yellow or silver in the corner of fuse panel. The emergency flasher is in the back side of fuse panel right directly behind the turn signal flasher.
Remove the emergency flasher and install it in place of the turn signal flasher and see if this corrects the problem and if so get a new flasher. If this does not correct it problem will most likely be the multi-function switch.

1991 Ford E150 turn signals do not work,emergancy flashers flash constantlly unless the flasher relay is unplugged from fuse block

Hi,

If I understand you right based on your post/description, the signal lights would still turn on even if any or both of the flasher relays are removed. Should this be the case, then the signal lights are not getting the power from the flasher relays but from the brake light circuit.

Perhaps your concern is not with any of the flasher, but simply missing or loose ground more particularly with the rear lights. Perhaps you could try determining which of the wires for the brake lights and signal lights (as they come out of the light assembly) would be ground . A test and even possibly a temporary workaround is to hard wire a second ground connection from the determined ground wire of the lights and attach it to any conveniently located bolt or screw to the body. it may be to your advantage to do this on all the rear lights assembly.

Hope this be of initial help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information.

Good luck and kind regards. Thank you for using FixYa.
