Hello all,

Kinda surprised I didn't find anything on this issue. I searched headings "turn signal light stays on" in GD and got nothing.

OK so went out to Fit today and I noticed the rear left turn signal light staying on solid. Looked like the front left turn signal light stayed on too, I guess all night. The battery was dead, as it wouldn't start. Not sure if this is related or not, but about 300 miles ago the right rear turn signal light was out. I went and bought a replacement light and it was good to go after that.

I roll started the car and went for a ride. I tried playing with the turn signal and "fix it". The left stayed on solid, regardless what was happening. It stayed on even when I clicked the right side. The right side works fine too.

Not sure if this is the flasher issue or what. Thought I'd ask here. Any and all help is GREATLY appreciated.

 

could be the flasher relay is broken. pull the hazard fuse for now to disable em.

 

Yeah my Emergency Switch doesn't work either. I hit it and the light, both sides, stays on solid..... Flasher Relay huh? I'll make a move after I get a second on it.

 

(Man it's funny how your health declines after not exercising. Been pedaling the last couple of days and it's tuff!)

OK so I pulled the hazard fuse, I think, and the turn signal light is still staying on. I follow these directions and pulled the 10amp fuse at the bottom right. I don't see a "turn signal" fuse anywhere on the directions. Clueless!

 

Update: Looks like the left turn signal lights aren't on after I discounted the battery charger. When the charger is on, the lights are on. I'll see if it's on or not driving in about 30 min.

 

Lets clarify:
a) with ignition off, front and rear tun signal lights are on with hazard switch off and turn switch stalk in nutral position
b) with all of the above, the solid green arrow is on the instrument cluster is on as well
c) the right side turn signal lights are working normally

Pop the hazard switch and unplug it
Now all turn signal lights and arrow light should be off
if they still on something feeds the circuit; we talk about it later (Aftermarket alarm?)
now identify wire colors on the switch connector; look for green-white wire terminal 2,( flasher input ) and yellow/black wire , terminal 1, hot with ignition on)
Next, fabricate 10 amp fused jumper and connect 1 and 2 terminals


This will provide power to the flasher . Check the operation of turn signals. If works normally the hazard switch is bad.

 

Well looks like everything is fixed. The lights are working as expected. I left the house with a solid turn signal light lite up, and came home with the lights working.

I'm thinking some of this turn signal switch is mechanical? Seems like the light started working right after I hit a pretty good pothole in the road.

I think I'm putting this switch on my list of backup parts. No telling how long this is going to last.........

@ doctor J, I'm going to see how things work as it is now. Even my check engine light is off now. Much appreciated on your and xxryu139xx's help here. Got a feeling I'll be looking at what you posted again.

 

Looks like my life as an elitist didn't last. I'm back at the start of this thread. The light is glowing constantly. What I ended up doing was disconnecting the front and back turn signal lights. At least my battery isn't dying now.

@ doctor J, I'll disconnect the hazard switch tomorrow and see what I have.

 

OK this car, or the issue here, is starting to get to me. It's getting to be a pain here. Currently my battery is not getting charged. If I charge my battery in the car, I let it charge all night, it will still show there's over 2 amps going to the battery. Today I went ahead and disconnected the battery from the car, and am charging the battery. Ideally the charger will eventually show 0 amps going to the battery, correct? The battery is a good battery, still under warranty.

I still have the fuse disconnected.as stated on step #4. The front and rear turn signal, outside lights are unplugged. I don't have my instrument panel left turn signal light glowing on constantly. It was before. I can use my right turning setup fine. I try the left turn signal setup and the instrument panel light flashes fast and obviously not outside light flashing. The battery is dead each morning and I got to jump start the car.

I'm going to reply to doctor J's post at #6.

 

Thanks for the detailed explanation above doctor.

At the time,
a) with ignition off, front and rear tun signal lights are on with hazard switch off and turn switch stalk in nutral position - yes
b) with all of the above, the solid green arrow is on the instrument cluster is on as well - yes, but just the left light
c) the right side turn signal lights are working normally - yes

Now I'm pretty sure both signals are working fine.
Copied from above;

You mentioned that I might need to replace the hazard switch. I looked for the current parts cars around the area and there's,
'13 Fit and 2 x '09 Fit within a 40 mile area here. My battery is currently charging (disconnected from the car). I'm going to let it charge till it doesn't change what it's doing. Right now it's taking 2 amps.

 

Well , next step is pull the hazard switch out (easier to say than done) and install jumper made from paper clip as explained above. Thanks to COVID, I am staying away from the wrecking yards, as most visitors are don't give a shIt to the state rules. (and getting weekly groceries now is equivalent to getting new engine for the Fit at the junk yard).

 

I don't have my outside turn signal lights connected, but I would bet my last dollar that the turn signals work. The light isn't on all the time or anything. I am getting a short somewhere though. Each morning my battery is dead. I'm at the point now to try and figure out how good the battery is. Tomorrow, as long as it isn't wet, I'm going to charge the battery all day. That will be disconnected from the car. I'm troubled by that the battery is taking a minimum of 2 amps. To me, that means it's not that good of a battery. I would think it should be that eventually it will be close to 0 on the amount of amps it takes.

Looks like there's a good thread on doing the switch, how to remove hazard switch? I'm not looking forward to this. You think doing the steps on that jump outlined will take care of my short? Or you think that short is something else?

 

Short in the flasher will call for a new cluster board
It's hard to guess without actually working on the car.
it better not to be a flasher unit!

 

BUMP

I was torn between starting a new thread or bumping this up. Figured this would be better. Let me know if this is frowned upon. OK so I still have issues with the Fit. I ended up getting a new battery on a warranty at Sams Club. The new battery was starting the car just fine for the first 2-3 days. Now I can't start the car at all. I charged the battery back up and tried my backup battery to jump the car, and all I get is a clicking noise. The backup battery is working fine and even starts big V8s.

Also I don't have the turn signal light issue anymore. I connected back the outside front and back left turn signal lights back up. The turn signal system is all working as it's meant to. Oh I haven't tried the hazard flasher as the fuse hasn't been connected back. I'll do that today and check if flashers are working correctly.

BTW, there's a 07 Fit at my local Pick n Pull yard. So I'm betting that parts needed are there.

 

OK so the fuse has been put back and the flashers work as it should. Tried the starting and it just clicks with a fully charged battery. Now I leave my car with the battery disconnected as it will just drain to dead if connected.

 

Please remind me if your car ever had an aftermarket alarm or some extra accessories were installed?

 

No alarm other than the stock one. Radio doesn't even work. Light come on, but no tunes. Looks messed up.

 

A bit strange Will look on wiring diagrams for a common cause

 

Speaking of which. My pops said "it would help to have a wiring diagram of the car", but the local library doesn't look like it can be of help till the 22nd of this month (at the earliest). How can I get a copy of the wiring diagram of the car? Or a shop manual?
