Default funny blinker

my blinker seems to stutter alot lately... itll blink normal for a few blink's then will pause for sometimes as much as 5 seconds between blinks. its doing this on both sides. i know my blinker lights around going out because if they were then it wouldnt blink at all. could it be the gauge lights?

Me neither, and even I know that there's no such thing as a "blinker reservoir".

This same garbage is happening to me. I've check all the wiring for shorts, none that I can find. All the lights are brand new and I even put a new flasher in...still having this issue. I'm gonna check for a fuse/relay next.

lol blinker fluid and the resivoir doesnt exist.

the relays are on the drivers side of your dash. open up your door and you should see a slot to stick your finger in. but dont worry nothing will bite you. pull on that piece and it should un velcro itself so you have access to your fuses.

Check ALL the bulbs. If it's a left turn signal, there's two in the front and one in the back. Also check your brake lights and make sure both filiments are lighting up, low and bright.

I had hte same thing but it was the relay under the dash. Replaced it with a heavy duty one and problem solved.

This happened on my vette. It was the hazard switch. I replaced it and all is well. That doesn't help you much since you replaced yours already, deimis. I'd do like you said and check out the fuses/relays. This may help 01CaMMMaro, though. Maybe try out the hazard switch. Don't know how much difference there is between a vette and an F-Body but it's worth a shot.

There is fuse that looks like a canister under your dash. You have to take off the panel above your knees. It will be about right above where your right knee points. It will be clipped inside of a rail that makes it hard to see it. Look for wires going behind a rail and a clip on the out side of it. It took me 15 minutes to find it but its there. Good luck.
