Default Turn signals not working on 1992 Dodge Dakota

1992 Dodge Dakota V8

All of my turn signals suddenly stopped working a couple of days ago. Prior to that, they had been flashing much more rapidly than I ever remembered before. Last night, I checked the hazards and all other lights on the truck (brake lights, back-up lights, tail lights, etc.), all of which appeared to be working just fine. Any thoughts??

May be the switch or power or ground issues. I will move this to the 1st Generation Dakota sub forum.

Im thinking bad wiring, damaged bulb or socket, or relay. Doubt it is the relay tho.

Pull the flashers under the dash and switch them around.

1992 Dodge Dakota 3.9 2wd Ext Cab - This would be a good time to grab the factory service manual and find out what's in common to all those circuits.

My FIRST guess, however, would be the ignition switch (the switch itself, not the lock cylinder!)

Do notice that's a GUESS - it could be as simple as a blown fuse (I'd be checking ALL the fuses before I bought an ignition switch, though!)

For my 1988, with similar but not identical wiring, the common point is the ignition switch. Fuse 10 is for the flahser, fuse 11 is for the windshield wiper, and the radio (fuse 8) is on that same wire from the switch. Backup lights (fuse 2) and heater or A/C blower (fuse 4) are on another section of the ignition switch. With them is the power windows (fuse 5) circuit. The gauges are off still another section.

One thing to check also is to rock the switch carefully (usually with the motor off!) and seeing if the wiper, blower, and flasher will start up in certain positions.

But yah, grab the wiring diagrams out of the factory service manual and start chasing the electricity around.
