blinker problem

car in sig


a couple days ago my turn signals started acting up. sometimes they work fine, but sometimes they dont work at all. sometimes they blinker quicker than normal but sometimes its slower than normal. the problem is with both the extereor signals and the indicators in the guage cluster. when they do "work", i hear the clicking you normaly hear. when they dont work at all i dont hear the click.

all the bulbs light when the signals decide to work, but i havent had time to inspect the wiring or anything yet. i will do so tommarow. also, the problem is with both driver and passanger side, and front and rear


has anybody had a problem like this?

Re: blinker problem

mine were doing the same thing, then i found out that one of the bulbs in the tail light was burned out and i replaced it. Works perectly now. Might wanna give it a shot it only like 5 bucks to replace all of them.

Re: blinker problem

all the bulbs are fine, none burnt or busted and they all light up when the running light switch is on


EDIT - nvm, one of the dual filaments apparently took a crap

Re: blinker problem

i replaced all of the bulbs front and rear and the turn signals still dont work. the hazards work and the fuses are all fine. are there any other modules that controll the signals other than the signal switch inside the steering column?

i checked for wires that could have been gnawed on by mice or something.
