After installing my replacement rear-clam latch yesterday, I discovered that my turn signals have stopped working. I know they worked very recently, but now flipping the turn signal switch in either direction fails to turn the signal lights on. The actual signal lights appear to still work, as all of the front/rear/side turn signal indicators light-up when I turn on the hazard lights. The headlights and high-beams all work as well. Is it possible that the turn signal switch is on a standalone fuse? I confess I know very little about the Ultima fuse setup; I don't even know where is the fuse box is... smile My plan is to send it to the shop next week, but I thought I’d check here first. Thanks in advance!

IIRC the turn signals work on a different relay to the hazards. Sounds like your turn signal relay has packed up.

The relay lives on a fuse/relay panel behind the cover above and behind the left front wheel.
The relay may simply have become dislodged so first check all the relays are in place. The hazard and indicator relays are the same design and sit next to each other so swaping them over will prove if one is dead.

I had a similar symptom.... found that it was a problem with the hazard switch.... hazards worked but not the indicators !
