Make sure you share this with your friends so they don't get ripped off! Learn how to change out the Blinker Fluid in your car or truck with my easy to follow how-to video!
The phlogiston defenestrator generally is replaceable on American-made cars.
Yes, sounds like a wiring issue. Hope you can get repairs for a reasonable cost.
check the fuse, check bulbs before going mechanic $
Muffler bearings last a lot longer if you periodically put some elbow grease on them. Trouble is, they use the metal shielded bearings because the sealed bearings won't take the heat. Crud gets in the shield and ruins the bearing. I got tired of changing them. So I ordered some miniature grease zerks from Switzerland, the kind they use in the high-dollar Swiss mechanical watches. Drilled & tapped the shields for the zerks. I use a mixture of elbow grease and a little high-temperature anti-seize. A quick squirt of grease every oil change and I'm good to go.
I’ve upgraded my blinkers to the sealed, fluidless type and put helium in my tires.

I don’t trust stuff from Scandinavian countries. I bought some Finnish nails once and they didn’t even have heads!
The wife pulls into the service station. She explains that her husband is stuck at home because he has a flat tire. She asks if she can borrow an airtank with air in it to fill his tire so that he can bring his car in. The attendant says, “sure, ok not a problem”. He connects the shop airline to the tank and begins filling it with compressed air. He stops when the gauge reads 100psi. He tells her, “there you go lady. I put a hundred pounds in there for ya.” She says, “are you crazy!? I can’t lift a hundred pounds!”
LOL
Thanks for the advice :)
I did think it was a wiring problem (maybe still is) because the blinkers once stopped working during a rain storm. Later on they worked.
Mechanic said that the hazard light button sticks and that’s what causing the blinkers not to work.
Now, I couldn’t see why the hazard button would be stuck if I didn’t use it. Then I realized that my dog sometimes goes koo koo when I leave her in the car. She must have stepped on it or something. She’s still learning how to behave in a car.
Mechanic didn’t charge me anything which was nice of him :)
You have one of those hover cars, then. :)
Interesting. Thanks for sharing the results. Possibly the hazard light button has been slobbered on... Funny.
Well, now I do.
:D
Wow..!!!
Nice one..!!!
heh heh..!
^_^
That instructional video is very useful. I had my son watch it, and told him that he can change his own blinker fluid from now on.
