Default 2000 ls400, Turn signals not working, fuse ok

So while i was working on the car's lights, accidently the (+) and the (-) of the turn signal circuit touch each other and sience then the turn signals are dead. Of course the turn signal circuit was shorted. When i checked fuse no.1 it was not blown, So does anyone can sugguest where the problem might be?

Thanks,
Shlomy

Have you checked 2 fuses? One behind the battery 10A Hazard and the other 7.5A Turn under the dash. If those are OK, the next step is to check the turn signal relay under the dash. The relay has different components inside including semiconductors and sometimes those are damaged by excessive currents.

Default My headlights turn signal is not working at all

But the front wing fender ones and the rear ones are working. Only the front ones are not working. I hear the click on the relay. I checked all the fuzes on the engine fuse box and the one under the steering wheel. It's all good.

Is there any other fuse box in the car? Or is the front circuit separate from the rear and wing turn lights?

I was thinking, is this possible if one turn light fail, will all the other on the headlight stop working?

Anyway, my next step is to swap the four turn signals in the headlights to LEDs. Before checking the relay... If not joy, then the next step is the relay. If no joy again, then I must take to a mechanic... 🙈

You're resurrecting a six year old thread so we should start from the beginning.

What model year LS are you working on?

It's a 2007 model (green sage colour). I just ordered the relay(

DEWHEL 8-Pin 81980-50030 066500-4650 Speed Adjustable)

which I will swap at the same time as the turning lights. But for now I am looking for an advice if someone had the same problem...

If you're referring to the vehicle in your screen name, you're posting in the wrong forum.

You'd get better responses if you post here: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...2006-2013-163/
