blinker sticking??

Post by bigredball90 »

I got my truck back today you can read my rant in the general section. I turned on my lights and the blinker was in its normal spot but the left blinker stayed on. When I put it on the left blinker it clicked then like 10 seconds later clicked again. The right blinker is just fine. Any ideas??

If it comes back check your ground connections for the front and rear bulbs… Almost sounds like the dash turn indicator light was the only one that was working and it would take it a while to pass enough current in the flasher to make it flash… :2cents: If it happens again check the front and rear lights and see if they are working.

Ok so it only happens when I turn the headlights on, and even then only for a minute or two then it works just fine. The blinkers blink just as slow as the arrow on the dash for a minute then its fine. Ok just drove to my gf house and it blinked fine but it was "glowing" the whole time. Any ideas??
