WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Honda Odyssey and 2005 Honda Odyssey. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Remove the turn signal/hazard relay (A) from the driver's under-dash fuse/relay box (B).

  2. Inspect the relay and fuse/relay box socket terminals to be sure they are all making good contact.
    • If the terminals are bent, loose, or corroded, repair them as necessary, and recheck the system.
    • If the terminals look OK, go to step 3.
  3. Make these input tests at the fuse/relay box.
    • If any test indicates a problem, find and correct the cause, then recheck the system.
    • If all the input tests prove OK, the turn signal/hazard relay must be faulty; replace it.
