it worked for a few months and now just stopped working. I checked the little blinker fuse in the fuse panels but it was fine. Any ideas if theres a blinker relay or something else i can check since my blinker isnt working. Thanks alot, CharleyTurbo...

I would look at the flasher maybe.

Thanks, but whats a flasher? Please. CharleyTurbo...

Its a rectangular box on the underdash fuse panel.

It costs about $3 in the auto parts store and works reliably for years.


In this vehicle, the thermal flasher is located in the fuse panel.


Inside the thermal flasher there are a few simple components:

•An electrical contact that conducts electricity into the wire
•A piece of gently curved spring steel to which the electrical contact attaches
•A resistive wire wrapped around a smaller piece of spring steel



The thermal flasher



When you push the turn-signal stalk down, the thermal flasher connects to the turn-signal bulbs by way of the turn-signal switch. This completes the circuit, allowing current to flow. Initially, the spring steel does not touch the contact, so the only thing that draws power is the resistor. Current flows through the resistive wire, heating up the smaller piece of spring steel and then continuing on to the turn-signal lights. At this point, the current is so small that the lights won't even glow dimly.


After less than a second, the small piece of spring steel heats up enough that it expands and straightens out the larger, curved piece of spring steel. This forces the curved spring steel into the contact so that current flows to the signal lights unimpeded by the resistor. With almost no current passing through the resistor, the spring steel quickly cools, bending back away from the contact and breaking the circuit. The cycle then starts over. This happens at a rate of one to two times per second.

Wow. I would have said it's one of the big relay looking plugs on the fuse box. Swap that shizzle out playa to get some flashy light action.....

Well said, well done!!!!

Are all of your bulbs ok? Might be low on blinker fluid too...

The light bulb housings on the tail lights are known for having problems. Thats the first place I would look.

Hey guys thanks alot, I hadnt read youre responses yet and figure it out. It was the housing, all i did was just twist it out and in a few times and it went on again. That was funny as heck, blinker fluid,haha. Thanks again..CharleyTurbo.
