Blinkers stopped working :(
So, the other day I noticed my blinkers weren't turning on sometimes they would work, sometimes they wouldn't. Now they just plain don't work! Any ideas? I already ordered a new flasher relay
I have flush mount fronts, integrated rear, and it doesn't matter if I try to use left or right blinkers if that matters Please help |

Do they come on and stay on or not come on at all when they are "not working?" Does the dash indicator light at all?

Check your relay. It may have developed a short.

I ordered a new one (that better fits my application anyway) hoping it is as simple as that

Do you have your original around in the mean time? With it, you should at least get *something* (solid lights).

I have stock blinkers, but I had a similar situation. Turned out to be an issue with the dirty contacts.
As all of yours are dead, have you tried something super simple, like turn signal relay fuse? Try measuring the voltage and see where it goes dead. Sometimes working sometimes not looks like faulty contact somewhere. I'm no electrician though. edit: link to the old thread |

I did blow a fuse for my tag light and dash lights once. Not sure if there's one for just the blinkers though.

Yep, but if something was shorting out intermittently and causing the intermitent operation, it very well could have blown a fuse to cause it to stop working completely. Replacing the fuse wouldn't solve the issue that caused it, but it would be a necessary part of fixing it if that happened.
