Re: Blinker issue

if the indicators/blinkers stay on its telling you a bulb is out, which it is by the sounds of it, replace the bulb and itl go back to normal.

Re: Blinker issue

That actually sounds like the flasher to me. It's a small little cylinder that plugs in under the dash. Looks like this: http://www.partsamerica.com:80/produ...pe=121&PTSet=A

Price ranges from $3 to $10.

Re: Blinker issue

Yeah I would say flasher too cuz I had a similar problem and swaping them out isn't really a problem it's just getting up there to the thing. But anyway when you get around to getting one they normaly have two options, clear/see through macanical(Optinon 1) or the one like what came on the car(Option 2). If you dont have a hearing problem then I would getting the one like came on the car.

Re: Blinker issue

What's with all of these non-V6 related questions in here?

There are specific forums for things like this.

Try this forum, it's NOTHING but electronics related: https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/electronics/

Mine did that for a while... Just had to spray some contact cleaner where the bulb went.
