Hi Linda. Thanks for contacting us today. When both the hazard lights and turn signal lights are not working, it’s commonly due to a faulty or exposed wire. If the relay and fuse you replaced were both damaged, I would suspect that your root issue is an electrical short somewhere in the system. If they were OK, then damage to the switch or turn signal indicator itself is likely the source. Diagnosing an electrical problem can be difficult, so you might want to have a professional mechanic complete an electrical inspection at your location.

Speedometer and fuel gauge faulty 1999 Toyota Corolla
