How to Turn Off Both Turn Signals Simultaneously?
2 Answers
There is a turn signal switch below the steering wheel. Pushing it downward activates the left turn signal, while pushing it upward activates the right turn signal. Moving it to the middle position turns it off. On the left side of the steering wheel, there is a light control lever. Pushing it upward turns on the left turn signal, and pushing it downward turns on the right turn signal. However, with the advancement of automotive technology, many cars now feature a "one-touch three-flash" quick function on the hazard light switch. The driver only needs to lightly tap the lever, and the turn signal will flash three times before turning off.
As someone with over a decade of car repair experience, I believe that when both turn signals light up simultaneously, it's mainly due to the steering wheel-side switch being stuck in the middle position and not fully returning. You can first try gently pushing the switch lever, moving it slightly towards the left or right turn signal direction to reset it to the default position. If this doesn't work, turn off the ignition switch, wait a few seconds, and then restart the car – most of the time, this will restore normal function. Don't forget to check if the bulbs are burnt out, as abnormal lighting can accelerate wear; if the problem recurs, it might be an internal circuit contact issue, and I recommend visiting a professional shop for inspection to avoid affecting nighttime driving safety. Regularly keeping the switch clean and reducing dust accumulation can also help prevent malfunctions.
