Re: blinker prob

Two quick things come to mind. One, make sure you don't have a burned out bulb. When one of my bulbs burns out the light on the dash comes on solid and doesn't flash.

Two, check the flashers under the dash, if all the bulbs are working but not flashing, sounds like the flasher went bad.

Hope this helps.

Re: blinker prob

But you can also check for bad or corroded sockets, and bad grounds at the sockets.

Re: blinker prob

if the lights come on that doesn't mean that BOTH filaments are working 90% you've got bad bulb(s)

Re: blinker prob

I had this problem when one of the front parking light assemblies wasn't grounded well enough due to corrosion. BTW your username sounds kinda... uh familiar, I thought about changing mine since it sounds gay. Oh well, guess I'm stuck with it!
