Um, not sure what he's talking about...

Kinda sounds like a relay to me. Have you checked the relays under the hood?

Until you get it fixed, use hand signals. Seriously. You might get laughed at but at least it is legal.

The relay is what controls the flashing. If it's illuminated and not flashing or if it doesn't illuminate at all, chances are it's the relay. If it blinks really fast on one side only, then you have a bulb out on that side. Good news is that relays are really cheap in most cases. Hope this helps.

sorry to tell you but your going to have to take it to an electrical shop. theres no way to determine where the prob is. unless you want to go and get an electrical tester and check all the blinker wires.

Its a short your going to have to rewire your blinker wire same exact problem happened to me nothing i tryed changing the blinker switch nothing i had a shop run a new wire for the blinker and to the fuse panel that's what the problem was 99 percent is your problem especially if u have the original wiring harness

easy fix. drain your old blinker fluid and make sure you get some high performance blinker fluid.

Damnit you beat me to it. The relay is called a flasher relay, its usually a $7 part, check if its doing what it should before taking the car to a shop.
