Front signals don't work, hazard light do.
hey there, i've got a '97 4Runner, my emergency flashers work fine, all the bulbs are good, yet my turn signals don't work at all.
I've replaced the flasher relay, and that didn't do a thing. I know the turn signal switch on the column is not the problem. Also, i do have factory daytime running lights. I'm stumped. Any advice would be much appreciated.

Golly-- my front/rear turn signals went out today, too! Holy mackeral. I had the sense to check emergency flashers, they're working OK. Where are the fuses for the turn signals? I have a 1991 Toyota Xtra Cab Deluxe pick-up, 2WD, 5-speed.
Thank you!
Thank you!

HAPPY-ENDING Story.
Well, it's 23 Degrees F. here but I HAD to go check my flasher relay. Phoned Stealership earlier today, "Would you like to schedule with Service to have those fixed?" Sure! Not. Talked to my Service Guy, he said "You need a new flasher." Famous last words.
Flashers are $56.xx new + tax. He said well if BOTH aren't working, it's NOT the fuse. So I was reading on line about what happens when the flasher (relay) fails-- turn signals don't work. (Earlier I made sure to turn on each turn signal, get out of my truck, walk around-- to reassure myself that the turn signals were NOT working inside OR outside. They weren't working anywhere.
So, late tonight, went back out there, after reading about where to find the flasher relay, I was confident I could locate it (on drivers side, near fuse panel near door hinges) BEFORE freezing to death. At least I'd die happy. Didn't see relays right off, but I did see fuse-panel door. Removed that. A diagram on inside of door had everything outlined nicely... the LAST thing I saw was "Turn Signal." Ah-hah! Ran back into house for my Leatherman. Gingerly (didn't want to crush it) removed Turn Signal fuse. In the dim light, it (at first) looked "OK" but to reassure myself, pulled a 10-Amp fuse from the "Gauges" slot & plugged that into "Turn Signal" slot. Got my keys, turned key to "Alt" (without cranking engine), then clicked on my right turn signal.
Guess what?
Blink-blink-blink. It worked.
Now all I have to do is find a 10A fuse for the Gauges slot... maybe I'll get lucky and find some spare fuses in the other fuse box.... maybe there's one in the engine-- if anyone knows if there are spare fuses in the truck somewhere, let me know?
Happy Days!
