On my car, an '85 300D, the turn signals would not work sometimes because of my hazard light switch. It seems the signals are routed through the switch, or something like that.

I took the button out and cleaned it, and I sanded the metal contacts that were in there a little. There was a lot of wet sand in there and not surprisingly that was the problem.

I'm not sure if your car is set up the same way as mine, but try flicking your hazard lights on and off and then try your turn signals. If you can get them to work at all doing this then you know what the problem is.

I'm not sure how your fuses are set up, but the fuse that controls the turn signals probably copntrols some other things as well, so it's not the first thing I would think of.

Good luck!
