 Posted: Fri Dec 03, 2004 4:32 pm Post subject: Blinkers not blinking... |
 |
|
My blinkers just quit working for no good reason. I just got a new hazard switch, light switch, flasher, bulbs, fuses
The emergency flasher still operates the blinker fine, so the flasher works as do alll the bulbs, but when I turn on the turn indicator only the dash light comes on!!?
I also tried to wiggle the emergency switch and tap the flasher with the turn indicator on, but no response. The only thing that led up to this is I used the emergency flasher for the first time for an extended period of time.
Suggestions?

Could it be the turn signal rtelay? I'd check there and then look for the easy things first. (poor ground, flasher wire loose, etc.

Hmmm.....probably needs Blinker Fluid
.
High Quality Synthetic Blinker Fluid -
Are you blinkers sluggish? Do they make an annoying ticking noise? Do they not flash fast enough?
Here's your solution. Little do people know, blinker fluid should be changed every 150,000 blinks! KaleCo high quality synthetic blinker fluid meets the highest D.O.T. standards! KaleCo blinker fluid provides you with thousands of hours of reliable blinking without the wear and tear on the flash-synchro's that the other blinker fluids cause!
KaleCo blinker fluid will not lose its viscosity, even in the most extreme situations! Why buy that old dino-blinker fluid, when you can get our unique patented synthetic formula? Satisfaction guaranteed!! For use in any car.

Yes they do...
$100 Each
or
$175 Pair
Extra Strength Muffler Bearing -
Do you have an annoying rattling in your mufflers? Are they sagging a little? Don't quite sound right?
That could be the symptoms of a worn muffler bearing. Allow me to introduce the KaleCo muffler bearing! It's unique iron-graphite composite with pre-grease-packed assembly provides over 200,000 miles of smooth muffler operation! It is most likely they will outlast your mufflers.
Also works well on heavy duty exhaust systems. One per muffler.
You can get more of those fine products at: http://www.kalecoauto.com
