Question Blinker won't work somtimes.

Sometimes my blinker won't work for no reason. (both left and right) but somehow the emergency blinker works... and whenever the left and right blinker won't work, all I have to do is press the emergency light, then after that it will go back to normal.. but sometimes when I am on the freeway I need my blinker, and it won't work. I have to press that to get it work... I am worry.... can anyone here tell me what is wrong with it????

I had a prob with my front blinker so I just popped out the sidemarker fixture,removed the blinker bulb,
cleaned and lifted up the contact in the socket and it's fine now.
(This should work for front or rear,unless there's a short of course)

You probably need to change out your blinker fluid?



hehe jk. Perhaps your turnsignal relay found in your fusebox is going out. Have it load tested to see.

change the bulbs. When I first retrofitted my car with HID, I had this problem. found out I had bad turn signal bulbs. replaced them both for like 3.50 and the problem went away

but the thing is that sometimes all the blinker won't work at the same time... yet only if I press the emergency light then after it will work just fine for maybe a day or two.... that is what I don't understand either, because I thought it might be the bulb itself but it couldn't be all four bulb at the same time right...

about the fuse... where dose it located ??? is it the one on the driver side the long fuse box??? because I look and try to find the one for singal light but I couldn't... please help...

and about that harness... where can I get them beside the dealer... or can I get them in any part store...and how much dose it cost ??? and is it hard to do it myself???


thank you for helping....
