Key Features & Benefits

This little part basically tells your car where it’s supposed to be sending power when you use things like hazard lights, turn signals, or even the emergency flashers. It’s a control module that takes the signal from your switch – the one on the steering column or dash – and translates that into directing current to the right lights, front, rear, left, and right. It handles a lot more than just basic flashing, it manages the patterns and makes sure everything operates as designed. Think of it as the traffic controller for your exterior lights. It’s sitting within the safety system, taking input, and sending out instructions. It’s not a standalone thing; it works closely with the body control module and, naturally, all the lights themselves. It’s generally located somewhere in the interior, often near the fuse box or under the dash, but exactly where varies by vehicle. It's a core component of making sure you're visible and communicating your intentions to other drivers.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Well, a failing Destination Indicator can cause all sorts of frustrating issues. You’ll notice if your turn signals act erratic, flashing too fast, too slow, or not at all. Hazard lights might not work correctly, or maybe only some of the lights will flash. It can even cause lights to stay on when they shouldn’t. Ultimately, it’s a safety issue because if your signals aren’t working reliably, you're potentially putting yourself and others at risk. You can find a replacement part like this pretty easily at places like Fixparts Online, and usually it’s a straightforward repair, though sometimes you need to scan for codes to confirm it’s definitely the Destination Indicator that’s causing the issue.
