Turn signal relay fuse

Hi,
My turn signal (front right, HHR 2009, 2,4 l) is out. Bulb, socket etc. are fine but there is no juice. There's nothing about fuse/relay in the manual, unfortunately. But there must be a fuse for it, right?Sure do hope someone can help.
Greetings from Southern Bavaria
Richard

Does it work with the hazards flashers?

Welcome
What do you mean by the bulb and socket are “fine”. Did you actually test them with a volt meter or just that they “looked” OK ?
If there is no power to just that socket, then I would check the ground wire for that socket.

There is no "relay" like old fashioned blinkers, the BCM controls the flashing.
Is it the turn signal only or the parking light also? Same bulb different circuits. The parking lights are all on fuse #69 relay #68 underhood.
The turn signals are fused by the BCM fuses.

We tested all three wires. The ground wire is fine, but the two others are dead.

The parking lights are fine. The BCM fuses was my first suspicion. I just don't know how to fix that.
Thanks for all the quick replies. I really appreciate them.

The BCM fuse controls a lot of other things. Has anybody touched any wires near the BCM or the under hood fuse box?
The dark blue wire from the BCM goes to the under hood fuse box then to the right front turn signal, no fuse just straight connection.

What modifications got done by the importer?

Thanks for the input. Nothing has been touched there and unfortunately I have no idea about any modifications by the importer.
Best regards. Richard

Did the turn signal used to work? What happened just before it stopped? ANY work done? ANY after market installations?
