You heard it right folks, a 1993 Hinda Civic Del Sol that rolled in with a customer complaint of no turn signals. The customer was gonna wing a flasher at it but he seen it was $200 so he didn't want to load the parts cannon. Now we need to see what the real issue is. -Enjoy!

So I noticed at the top of the wiring diagram it showed todays date. Can we just take a moment to appreciate the fact that, despite being busy, doing repairs, being a boss, family man and everything else, he took the time to shoot, edit and upload this video in the same day! Thanks as always for constantly putting out quality, educational content for all of us. It is much appreciated.

Turn signals are just an ornament for some people. They switch lanes or make turns etch without the signal most of the time or if they use them they do turn them on when they’re already half of the lane or done making the turn. 😅

The more I watch you, the more I understand that you are a mechanic... and more. Back when I watched and worked with my Uncles fixing engines and tearing down motors, the electrical systems were so much simpler. Replacing a part was the fix. To fix some of todays cars, you almost have to be an electrical engineer to have a chance in running the problem to ground. Your comments about "people throwing parts at it " makes more and more sense. Thanks

No fancy diagnosis tool or scope needed on this issue. Just old time diagnostics through simple process of understanding the mode of operation and confirmation & elimination. A lesson we can all learn. While the newer vehicles are more complex, the process is still the same, albeit with a greater level of understanding.

Power of ground driven turning signal? In the schematic you can see a diode in the feeding wire (@13:09). The diode let power through to the turning switch, so the turning signal is power driven. If the diode was facing the other way, it would have been a ground driven.

That relay that was hanging down looks like the “main relay” or PGM-FI relay. Guessing since this car is almost 30 years old, it’s been replaced once or twice at the point due to crank/no start caused by internal cracked solder joints.

IMO, that's easier after you see a diagram of the factory flasher. The oem flasher is basically two flashers in one. One left, one right, and the hazard switch turns them both on. They are linked for synchronized hazards… Mine aren't, I hacked in dual flashers for LED signals, and now L&R do their own thing. Sometimes my hazards alternate sides, for a bit, because the flashers aren't synchronized.
