hey guys, im having a weird issue with the signals, sometimes when i turn the signal on for a left turn it flashes and blinks and flashes and then stops for a good 2 sec and then the turn signal is on for 1 second then quickly blinks and repeats its self, but it doesent seem to be showing the same blinking pattern all the time it changes, i believe it does this sometimes for the right signal as well but i think a little worst for the left. if anybody has better knowledge on this please help. could possibly be a flasher relay maybe??

ok the hazerds work like normal but when i do left signal or right it starts to act funny again. i will have to take a video of this since its hard to explain the problem

There are two different flashers. One for left/right turn signal. One for hazards. If all the lights that are supposed to flash work properly with the hazard flasher, then replace the turn signal flasher. It is hidden behind the shin panel under the steering wheel to the side (I forget which side, but I think its to the right). If you replace any of the bulbs with LEDs, you'll need to get an electronic flasher instead of the stock thermal flasher (ex: Tridon EL12, $8-$12 at auto parts stores).

i dont see why you'd need an electronic flasher with LED bulbs...but i put an electronic flasher in mine with regular bulbs just cuz its more reliable.

anyway yeah the flasher is behind the knee bolster on the right side. easiest way to find it is turn the signal on (whichever side works) and you'll hear it and can track it down that way. theres just a clip holding it to the dash frame. easy install.

^^^ thank you so much guys! i will work on this tomorrow, while im there ill do the lowbeam/highbeam mod

LEDs don't draw nearly as much current as the stock incandescent bulbs. Since they draw less current, they won't heat up the bimetal strip in the stock thermal flasher enough to flip it. Therefore the signals won't flash. They'll stay lit. An electronic flasher won't have this problem since it will flash regardless.

im going to get the EL12 flasher unless there is a better one or something i can buy. will the EL12 work fine with my regular bulbs

VIP1

I think some others have done it. I'm still on the original stock thermal from 2001.

VIP1

I don't know anything about it. Is that the part number of the stock one or something else?
