1996 blazer turn signals

[jaybird007]

Hey! I got a 1996 Blazer, 4.3L V6, and the turn signals will not work.
I have checked the fuse, it is good. I have checked the bulbs, they are good also. My hazards work, so I have no idea where to go from there.
Could the relays in the glove compartment be the culprit? Thanks for any info ya'll might have.

I have a 1995 Blazer with exactly the same problem. Fuses are fine, bulbs are too, hazards work. I have been told that it may be the flasher for the blinker. Does anyone know if this is it and if so, where is the blinker housing (steering column, under dash, in glove box??)

Try this.....My truck's a 96 S10, but I think it's almost the same as the blazer:
It's directly below the radio package. Gotta take down the driver's side pedal covers and the the panel above that (takes a #30 Torx tip). I also loosened the passenger side heater box cover as it will hold the middle panel from coming down enough to access the flasher units. After you drop the middle panel down a little, you'll see the two silver canisters relays. In my truck, the turn signal relay was the canister located on the right hand side. It'll pull straight out (with a little wiggling) and the replacement goes in similarly.

had same prob. 2000 blazer, problem was in hazard switch, placed a shim next to hazard switch until i could get it repaired, i had no turn signals or brake lights but hazards still worked. dealer fixed it per gm for free, some kind of secret recall.

Thanks guys. We have a '97 Blazer which had the same problem. Just replaced the flasher and now the turn indicators work correctly. Part costed $9 from Advance Auto Parts. It was the canister on the right (when sitting with your face towards the steering column). The flasher canister is fairly difficult to pull out. I needed to use some rubber coated mechanics gloves to get the extra grip necessary to pull it out. I also had to wiggle the canister as I pulled.

Thanks a million guys and gals!
