Turn Signal Relay Switch & Now Won't Start

my turn signals went out. Fuse was good so bought the relay switch. My husband put it in. I went to leave. No turn lights no nothing. Wouldn't start. The only thing working was the door open warning sound. Put the old relay back in and it starts right away. Why is this and what to do!?

ost problems in the turn signal or flasher systems can be reduced to defective flashers or bulbs, which are easily replaced. Occasionally, problems in the turn signals are traced to the switch in the steering column, which will require professional service.
