MR2 Turn Signal Lamp Malfunction
Summary of the thread
A 2001 Toyota MR2 is experiencing a turn signal lamp malfunction, indicated by an error message on the speedometer and a faulty light. The suspected causes include a bad cable or plug, but it could also be due to a failing flasher relay or a simple bulb issue. Suggested solutions include checking the flasher relay under the dash near the steering column, replacing the bulb, or consulting the owner's manual for guidance. If the problem persists, visiting a workshop is recommended for professional assistance.

Thanks! Could you tell me where the flasher relay is? I don't know much about the electrics. Also, is there a specific bulb I should use?

No worries! The flasher relay is usually under the dash, near the steering column. Your owner's manual should have a diagram. The bulb is probably a standard one, but check the manual for the exact type. Honestly, if you're not comfortable with electrical stuff, take it to a workshop. It cost me around 95€ to get it sorted. Could save you some trouble.

Thanks for the help! I'll check the manual. Given the complexities, I agree a workshop is best. The repair cost helps. Thanks again!

Hey, I had a similar issue with my MR2. Sounds the same. Did you check the flasher relay? It controls the blinking. Sometimes they fail. Also, have you tried replacing the bulb? Sometimes it's that simple.
