Like the subject line reads.....

It will flash for a couple flashes then stops....stops everything..no ticking....no flash no nothing...

I replaced the turn signal switch...still...not working properly....

Thoughts...?

I wish it was a joke...It's driving me nuts.....

Fuse is good...
I was pm'd something about a flasher fuse under the dash....?

Idunno but l'm gonna have a look...

Funny thing is my hazzards work with out a problem....they flash until I turn them off...

So all fuses should be fine.....Not..?

Flasher is a bright (almost neon) green relay under the dash, it's hiding above the accelerator pedal on a plastic clip. Easy enough to change.

Either that, or you've got a bulb on it's way out or making a poor connection.

^ I agree. Sounds like the flasher relay going bad.

Thanks Guys...

John , if its the relay does it have a fuse of its own or do I simply buy a relay from the dealer cut the old one out and replace it
with the new one...?

Sorry, forgot about this thread!

No need to cut it out... it has a socket, you just pull it out to replace it. If the fuse to it was blown, it wouldn't fix itself. It's probably a shot relay. I get 'em at the wreckers, lots of them!! I have a few here if you wanna PM me your address, I'll mail it to you..
