Default blinkers/hazards dont work

hey all first post. i have a 91 accord lx with some blinker issues.

at first just the right turn signal wouldnt work but the hazards and left blinker worked. i replaced the flasher and now both blinkers and hazards dont work.

all the fuses seem to be ok but i did notice a burnt connection in the fuse block in the engine compartment. it has three wires and it plugs into the fuse block in the corner. im gonna replace this connector. does anyone know if that has anything to do with my problem?

any help will be appreciated. thanks

I think that 3-pin connector is for the electric load detector. If your check engine light is not turning on ,then it is probably ok.

Do you mean that you replaced the turn signal bulb when you said the flasher?

i replaced the little box under the dash that makes the signals flash on and off. the one i took out was broken. once i did that the blinkers and hazards stopped working altogether. the tail lights work and the brake lights work.

that burned connector is fried and not hooked up at all and my check engine light is not on.

thanks for replying

Make sure that you installed the turn signal/hazard relay properly.

There are some electrical tests that you can do at the hazard switch plug. Specifically, the wht/grn and the yellow wire should have 12V with the key in the II position.

i checked the flasher relay again. its in there right. it might be bad i guess.

i replaced the charred switch and nothing changed.

The hazard switch is the button you push to turn on the hazard lights. All of the turn signal/hazard wiring goes through that switch.
