Q: Turn Signals/Hazards Not Working 2005 Pontiac Grand Am
Around the end of November my turn signals began to work intermittently after several clicks of the handle, before going out completely several days later. After several days of troubleshooting, all of my fuses are completely fine and I can't tell if my hazard relay is bad or not.
My car has 214000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
