2015 Dodge Caravan turn signal lights
Hello,
So I started with a driver side front bulb out.. I pulled it looked fine elements still in tact, turn signal didn't work but running light did.. started to investigate put test light to all fuses even though nothing for turn signal listed.. then I started doing research most I could find was early year caravan and issues seemed a tad different. Since then because I haven't been able to dig up entire problem, all 4 signals stopped working.. asked a couple mechanic buddies they gave me different stuff to look for, one of them was the flasher relay and for the life of me I can't find it.. Google search, I download a 700 page manual(nothing)... it did look like there was some kind of relay on headlight assembly but I'm assuming it's the headlight auto shutoff for signal when daytime running lights are on? Can anyone help me out before I take it to dealer🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️.
Thanks in advance
Shawn

So it’s just one front signal light that’s out, or none of the turn signals are working? What about the 4 way flashers?
If it’s just the one light, try swapping it with the opposite side - if the signal starts working, the bulb is bad.
ALL of the exterior lighting (and I’m pretty sure the interior as well) is controlled by the TIPM (engine bay fuse box). If you’re not getting a turn signal to the driver front, the circuit needs to be checked at the TIPM - I can give you more detailed info if the bulb switch doesn’t work.

You won't find a flasher relay on modern vehicles today it's all done electronically, Today they control the turn signals and hazard by a flasher module and by the sound being emitted while the turn signal or hazard being turned on seem like to be coming from the multi-function lever on the steering column in my GC. I'm not 100% sure but I wouldn't be surprised if the flasher module was intergrated in the multi-function lever switch and most likely if bad have to replace the whole multi-function lever unit. Having said that the 4 signals stopped working I assume that you mean the hazard lights. The rear tail lights are LED's the only bulbs to likely burn out would be the front ones. Look like you might need to get your van on a scanner to route the source of your problem.
