  Q: How are turn signal and hazard flashers managed, and what steps should be taken if they are not functioning properly on Kia Spectra?

  A: For turn signal and hazard flashers, there's models from 1994 to 2004 excluding the model 2004 2.0L DOHC and for this the turn signal and hazard flashers Relay is positioned above the passenger compartment Fuse/relay box somewhat near the left side of the automobile kick panel. A soundclap sound means the flasher unit is working, while if, one of the indicator flicks rapidly, it is probably that bulb is burnt out. If the 10 ms indicator does not light and the 50 ms indicator does not blink, then the problem might be in a blown fuse, a faulty relay, a broken switch or a loose connection while before replacing the fuses, check for shorts. For the electrical connection, the relay must be pulled towards the right to eliminate it from the car's circuit and unlatch the connector tab. If the relay is faulty, take it with you when going to buy a new one in order to get one that is of the same make. Installation is done in the reverse order to that used for the removal of the equipment. For the 2004 2.0L DOHC and all 2005 and later models, (except Sportage) these vehicle does not have a conventional relay; the turn signal and hazard functions are controlled by the ETACS module, which is found in the interior fuse and relay box beneath the left dashboard. To access it, you need to locate the left side lower panel, and then take off the electrical connectors from the fuse and relay box and then, unbolt it. If replacing it, take all fuses and relays off and transfer all of them to the new box and the process of reinstalling is a reversed procedure of removing. Regarding turn signal and hazard flasher relay, in Sportage models the relay is mounted in the passenger compartment fuse and relay box and when it is fired the whole box has to be substituted. First of all, it will be necessary to take away the left IP end cover, turn out bolts of the fuse and relay panel, and to take out the box while disconnecting the electric connections. After this, the next step is to transfer all the fuses and relays to the new box, installation in this case is done in the reverse to removal.
