There are two flashers, one for the hazards and one for the signals.
check the fuse first!
I replace my flasher fuse.Now they light up but won't blink.
replace turn signal flasher, hazard flasher is separate
The 1990 VW Jetta turn signals will not work when the ground wire is broken or corroded. The turn signals may need the lightbulb's replaced.
Most likely a bad turn signal flasher or blown fuse
have you tryed all the fuses then check if the bulbs are good
If the turn signal bulbs light but will not flash, the flasher relay is defective, replace it.
Could be the flasher unit.
replace flaser can in fuse box
Multifunction switch is bad.
Your problem is most likely the turn signal relay im having a problem similar to yours but when my signals wont work neither do my hazards
