turn indicator lights are solid light

Post by 1306666 »

My left and right turn lights are starting to not blink. I put the lever in position and the indicator on the dash and the actual light remain solid on until the lever is back to neutral. Is there a switch or module I can replace? (I am getting honked at, :? )

Classic bad blinker unit. It's built into the Hazard light switch. They die...
Good news? Really easy to change.
Pull the radio out ( leave it plugged in if you haven't got your radio code! ),
reach behind the Hazard light switch and it'll pop right out with just a nudge.
Unplug - Replace. Done.
Until then, you can blink "manually". It's a pain, but they won't honk.

Bad News? Well, call these guys for the bad news...

You can give it a short, sharp shock and it may come back,
but it won't last. Like I said. They die. :cry:
