Intermittent blinker problem?

So my right turn signal works fine but my left is a bit messed up. It works from time to time, and when it is working it is slower than the right, when it isn't working, when I set the blinker just stays on and doesn't blink the indicator just stays lit and the turn signal stays lit.

Anyone have any clue what's up with this?

Re: Intermittent blinker problem?

I just fixed mine this w/e.

I bought new bulbs while I had them open but the problem was just dirty/corroded connections.

take bulbs out, clean socket connections with electrical cleaner (I used a toothbrush) and add some bulb lube (not too much as it is conductive and will bridge the connections causing another short, I did that doh!)

then (this is the more important part) there are three connecting pins in the back of the socket that holds the bulb.

Pull off one at a time and clean those and u'll be all set
----------
PS - Let the cleaner DRY THOROUGHLY before you power it up!

Re: Intermittent blinker problem?

No worries - if that doesn't fix it THEN you will have to look into "real" wiring problems like bad ground or broken wires, but I doubt it will come to that...
