    2003 Honda Accord turn signal Problem
    My 2003 Honda Accord EX turn signal and Hazard lights makes a static sound and then only works intermittently. If they come on in the dash then they blink outside the car but if they don't come on then they don't blink. The most important thing is that they are making a very weird static/shocking sound. Please help

    It sounds to me like you're describing a poor connection either within the turn signal switch or the turn flasher itself. Start be replacing the flasher (under the dash). You may need to remove the panel under the dash in order to access the flasher.
    If that doesn't fix it, let us know.

    Hello Captain Rich, I will try replacing the flasher first and get back to you on how it turns out. I hope first time the charm. Not having a dependable signal is very dangerous.

    Captain Rich, your diagnosis was accurate. Unfortunately the turn Signal / Hazard flasher relay was a dealer part and cost a little over $30 compared to the non-factory relays which costs under $5. In any case it worked and I am safe again. If anyone else has this problem here is some more info to help you guys. Captain Rich, thank you very much.

    The flasher relay is located above the fuse box/fuse panel on the left side of the driver's foot-well. To access it, you will need to lower the black plastic panel above the brake and accelerator pedals. You no not need to remove any screws, the panel is held-on by 3 clips at the front (side closest to driver's seat).
    The relay itself can be found on the top-right corner. It is typically a black box. To be sure, turn on your 4-way flasher (assuming that this works) and follow the clicking sound.
    From my understanding, the flasher relay is a dual-relay, acting as the relay for both the 4-way hazards and the turn-signals.

    Your friend is mistaken. Take your car to someone who can actually diagnose the fault. Don't replace anything that doesn't test as failed.
