Blinkers no workie.... still make ticking sound though... Uggh!

Have you checked the blinker fluid???

 

The sound is from a electro-magnetic switch also called the flasher. If its working your problem is likely downstream from that. Are all 4 corners out? Try inspecting and re-seating the flasher in case its something stupid.

What happens when you turn on the emergency flashers? It's totally unlikely that all four bulbs are burned out or disconnected, so I would guess that your hazard flasher switch is in a "half way" position - push it on and off a couple of times, then try your turn signals again.

 

I don't know squat about a 348 so what follows may be useless.

In the cars I know (and proven in my 355) have one bulb burn out, the remaining bulbs work with the offending side blinking faster than the operating side with front and rear bulbs working. Unlikely all 4 bulbs died at the same time....but ya never know.

It looks like you have a single relay that handles the emergency lights & blinkers. Item 159265 on table 145. I assume seeing as that is a single relay that it receives instructions from the turn signal stalk to turn on one side or the other for directionals and instructions from the hazard switch to cycle both sides at the same time. Or not....just guessing.

The fact that your hazards all work tells me (who knows nothing) the relay is operating correctly (and the bulbs work )

If it were me (and it isn't) I would check electrical connections from the blinker stalk on the steering column and re-seat that relay. Somehow that relay is not receiving the signals from the turn signal stalk to operate the proper sides.

That and 50 cents is worth a cup of coffee. I just know it sucks driving without the blinkers so trying to help.

 

Haha..... Just an old saying I have had for years....kinda dates me though doesn't it?

I don't drink coffee anyway....bourbon to start the day takes the edge off :0

 

Unless I read it wrong, the flasher is making noise indicating the stalk is working fine.

 

Is the acoustic relay imbedded in the contact relay?

 

Hmmm... I wasn't aware of an acoustic relay. I assume the clicking is the contact relay functioning properly.

 

Referring to the first line my initial post....

There should be a relay that makes the clicking noise for the "blinking" sound.

157498 is an acoustic repeater in the 355. The actual relay that controls the blinkers is 164369....for a 355.... I think. Hence my question. Does the 348 have all of that cooked into one relay? Maybe it is just the contacts engaging and disengaging....However, I thought that was always augmented so we could hear it.

There are numerous people on this forum smarter than me that can chime in here....
