My turn signal lights quit working 2 weeks ago, then the next day they worked fine. Today I drove my CS and they stopped working again, all the turn signal lights, hood dash and rear. Any ideas on what I should look at? I know very little about electrical systems.

Thanks for any help, Bill

Next time the signals stop working, check to see if the emergency flashers work. They have a different lead into the column harness but feed the same lights, if I remember correctly. I don't have my schematics in front of me, but I think that's right. Anyway, if the emer. flashers work, you may have a bad flasher unit or a bad turn signal harness. Let us know and maybe we can narrow it down further.

I went out to check the emergency flashers, I first looked under the dash and checked the flasher unit to make sure it was pluged in all the way. Now the the turn signals work. It may have just been a loose connection on the flasher unit.

Thanks for the help!

If it does happen again, the first stop is usually the ground. For some reason, the tail light ground is not much good. Hopefully you have the problem fixed.
