If both sides don't work and you are sure that there aren't blown bulbs on both sides, then replace the flasher.

Just above where your right leg is when your sitting in the driver's seat. You have to drop that plastic panel to get to it. Mine was clipped to a plastic "shelf" up under the dash there.

I replace mine before now it's doing it again. Somebody told me that I might have a short somewhere.

Sounds like your blinker fluid is just low!

If there was a short, I would expect the fuse to blow. Next time you replace it, ask if they have a Heavy Duty flasher - the larger contacts in those might cure your problem of burning it out quickly

I check, there were no blown fuses. Sometimes it work and sometimes it don't. I will check about the heavy duty flasher. Thanks
