Q: Turn Signals - 2001 Volkswagen Jetta

asked by on September 12, 2016

I was driving the other day, and everything was working perfectly fine. I used my turn signal several times, no problem. As I was on my way home, I went to use the turn signal, and nothing happened. The light didn't come on, the arrows inside the car didn't blink, absolutely nothing happened. I tried both left and right, neither worked. I've checked the corresponding fuse, and from what I can tell it is not burnt out, and I even tried replacing it with another one, and I got nothing. What should I do from here?

My car has 160000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
