SRS components are located in this area. Review the
SRS component locations, precautions, and procedures
in the SRS section {24} before performing repairs or ser-
vice.
Remove the turn signal/hazard relay from the under-
dash fuse/relay box.
Inspect the relay and fuse/relay box socket terminals
to be sure they are all making good contact.
. lf the terminals are bent, loose or corroded,
repair them as necessary, and recheck the system.
. lf the terminals look OK, make the following
input tests at the fuse/relay box socket.- lf any test indicates a problem, find and cor-
rect the cause, then recheck the system.- lf all the input tests prove OK, the turn signal/
hazard relay must be faulty; replace it.
