Right turn signal on won't turn off

Start the car the right turn signal turned on and is constantly on now no matter what the position of the handle is in if I go to turn on the left turn signal it doesn't turn on and the right signal just stays on. but if I turn on hazard lights both sides blink. I pulled on the fuse for the turn signal just to get the signal off and the fuse is fine. what is going on? what do I need to do to fix this?

I had this problem and fixed it easily. It sounds like the turn signal mechanism is broken. Fortunately, the turn signal/headlight lever is a distinct separate unit that can easily be removed from the steering wheel assembly, remove 2 screws and the 2 eclictral plugs and it comes right off. Then get a new one at autostore for ~$80 or pull one off any 2g eclipse at the salvage yard for cheaper, better option and you should be back to signaling your intended turning direction in no time.

SOURCE: Passenger sliding door doesn´t unlock (Power

Sound like you have a dammaged door latch assembly. It is a pain but you have to take the insid door trim panal off to see what you are doing and make sure the latch assy is un locking. Dis connect power door lock motor linkage to make sure motot is not jaming the lock in the lock possition.

SOURCE: 1992 Ford Ranger Turn signal/Hazard light issue

Can you just check to make sure the ignition key switch is not staying over to far and not backing off when you try to start it. I had a truck that did that and it messed up my turn signals until I brought the key switch back a little after starting it. Just a simple idea. Be kind with your rating for me. Raz

My turn signals sometimes will quit working then I have to hit the hazard lights button leave it on and then turn my turn signals on then they work what causes this to happen

When the turn signals quit working pull up , down , front to back an back to front on the turn signal switch handle . Do they work when doing this ? Pontiac had bad switch . The power for the turn signals goes through the flasher / hazard module . Could be the switch or the module.
The HAZARD LPS fuse in the left hand instrument panel (LH IP) junction block supplies battery positive voltage to the flasher module, which is part of the hazard switch assembly. The TURN LPS fuse in the LH IP junction block supplies ignition positive voltage to the flasher module. The turn signal lamps may only be activated with the ignition switch in the ON position. When the turn signal switch is placed in either the left or right position, current flow is from the flasher module's output to the turn signal switch assembly. The flasher module then sends an on-off voltage signal to either the left or right turn signals and their instrument panel cluster (IPC) indicator. When the hazard switch is pressed, all the turn signal lamps will flash including both IPC turn signal indicators.

I put in a new battery, and now my right signal flasher is on constantly, and my left flasher does not work at all, no matter which position I have the turn signal indicator in (middle, up, or down).

Changing the power supply may have caused some current to the flasher relay. It may need to be replaced. Have it checked by a technician.

Front right and back right turn signal wont work but the front left and back left do

first check the bulbs on that side by visual or changing to the other side if you can't see that well if the bulbs from the front and back work or are good when checked the flasher has blown out on one side and you have to replace it other possible cause could be a broken wire for the right side lights so look at the connectors for that side front & back if all is good one more thing could do this the actual turn signal lever that you use to activate the signals could be bad for the right side especially if it does not go back to the normal position after making a turn and the steering wheel rotates back to it's normal position but the turn signal lever does not click back to the center position this would burn out that side from the signal constantly being on good luck stephen

My 2000 honda civic wont turn over and has no spark but the ignition coil and modual are both fine

Won't turn over? Do you mean the starter won't crank the engine over?

Or the engine cranks over and won't start, and you have tested for spark when cranking and have no spark? And then you have tested the coil and ignition module, and they tested out good? Am I on the right page here? If so, maybe the next thing to check would be the crank position sensor. The ecu (computer) signals the ignitor (ignition module) when to initiate spark after it digests the signals from the crank position sensor and the cam position sensor.

Toyota 4runner ran low on oil and now won't start

Throttle body position sensor (TPS), JUST locate the throttle body and you will see an electrical plug, RIGHT at the throttle butterfly, check if it's LOOSE or if there's anything WRONG with the WIRES, and go from there.
Normally, it will have like 4 wires, not sure about the color, but 1 is constant power, 1 is output signal, 1 is IDLE/Wide open throttle SIGNAL, and the LAST is ground.

Use a Voltmeter, hook the NEG-(black lead) to chassis or BATTERY NEGATIVE. The RED lead is probed into any wire to check for any voltage. ONLY perform this check when you have Ignition ON, means that you have power, but engine OFF. Do not take hours long you will drain the BATTERY.

Power wire will either be always 5V or 12V constant.
Ground will have ~0 Voltage.
OUTput signal wire will VARY as you work the throttle, start at 0.5 "ish" and 4.5V "ish at Wide open.
The idle switch signal should switch between maximum and minimum value as you work the throttle BACK and FORTH.

CHECK ONE AT A TIME.
IF NT working, look for a new part. IT's TOYOTA should not be EXPENSIVE.
FEEL FREE TO DESCRIBE what you find to me :).

Starter making whirring noise.

When you say it won't start you mean it won't crank, right ?

If you have a duralast starter from auto zone, that may be the problem.
Aftermarket brand starters and alternators can be lemons sometimes.
A mechanic would check for voltage at the starter with the key in the on and start positions. Also check the ground connections.
Its possible the starter is not getting full battery voltage for some reason.

P1610 and P1614 Keys won't turn for Lock Position on Ignition Lock Cylinder

Not sure what the problem here is.
The codes are for the security system - - the key is not sending a signal or the right signal for the car to start.
Could be a problem with the lock cylinder which may have a sensor for the key inside it.
