Lights?
 

Well all, I'm back from Iraq... I got into my car to drive her on home, and I guess while I was gone she decided to break herself...

The signal flashers, Hazards, or high beams no longer work at all. Fuses are good, bulbs are all good. I have a feeling it's the unit in the steering wheel area itself but I'm hoping someone here has a better idea before I go running to get that.

I already replaced the flasher unit (After an hour of pain in the butt scavenger hunting) And like I said, checked the fuses and bulbs. Any suggestions?

welcome back to the mainland ...

what kind of car we taking about? you forgot to say.

it sounds too simple, but i say put a fresh battery on clean battery terminals/cables before you do anything else.
check engine / body grounds for white dust and wash off and spray with WD40, then retigthen connections

you left the battery hooked up, right?
how long was she parked?

Sorry bout that, it's a 1997 STS.

The car was only parked for 3 months and I had someone driving it for me every once in a while.
The lights just up and stopped working. I'll check the battery before I do anything else.

Ok if anybody wants to know, I took the car to a mechanic and he found the problem. There was a loose wire under the dash board that led to a multi-function relay that controlled multiple things, to include the high beams and hazard lights. He fixed (replaced) the wire, and they all work like a champ now.

Damn wires...
