| Description of the problem | About 30 percent of the time, my turn signals and flashers do not indicate the signal i want to give. During those times, when i indicate right it doesn't flash at all. If i indicate left, it indicates right. Also if i put on the hazards, it either corrects the problem or it indicates left. This is very frustrating and provides a big safety incident on the road. I have noticed that i am not the only person that has had this before as it is a very common occurrence on the web. It increases substantially during the fall and winter months and is almost not existent during the summer months. It also affects my wipers that when i have the lights on i can see that my vehicle is acting up because the wipers are at 1 detent less than what i am trying to provide. This makes it so i can't use the fast wiping position. Thanks for your help. |
