Good Evening!
Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving. My daughter treated us with one of her rare visits, driving her 1998 Protege the six hours from college. She just got back to college and called home with a baffling mystery in which the turn signals are 'not working' and neither I nor the repair manual can make any sense. Hopefully you (the experts) can...
Asked her if any of the lights at the four corners worked from the stalk switch; answer was no. Asked if the four-way hazard flashers worked; this is where it got weird. The answer was, they work fine, but only if one holds down the button all the way. On releasing the button, the hazard flashers simply don't stay on.
Does this behaviour mean anything to anyone? Seems like wiring and bulbs are OK because each bulb will light and flash on/off with the hazard button held in. I'm about to have her go over the fuses, replace any relays in the circuit... something more?
Thanks in advance!
Cheers
