Turn Signal Help i tried searching and didn't find what i was looking for.
whenever i try to use my turn signals IF they do work they do not flash on rythm what-so-ever. also there is a clicking sound that goes along with the flashing, and sounds like its coming from somewhere inside the dash, but this only happy occasionally.
all bulbs do work.
replacing the fuse did not help.
(sorry if its in the wrong section, i wasn't quite sure where to post)
thanks for any help.!

Pull out the bulbs on the front. DRL's
They may light up, but there could be some corrosion in the harness causing this off rythum ticking/flashing... Our lights are weird any little thing can mess them up, or cause them to act funny.

Sounds like the flasher is going bad, it like a relay and when they go bad the either don't work or they flash really fast.
I don't know where the flasher is in our cars since I've never need to find it yet, but most are round and about an inch tall and an inch and a half wide.
I am going out to my car to see if I can find mine real quick

^ that would sound right, because that where the clicking seems to be coming from.
also this weekend i'll check into the corrosion issue.
hopefully it'll get fixed this weekend, and i won't be rained out from Ivan.
thanks guys for your help!

Here's a pic of it. Many people have a hard time locating it because all you can see is the little black clip (my yellow flasher is aftermarket and larger). Also, if you go with a larger flasher don't reclip it. I noticed with mine that the clip was sqeezing it to much (actualy denting it) and it stopped working after about a week.
