So I am driving home last evening from the beautiful Black Hills of SD. I begin to notice that my left turn signal sometimes works and other times not. When it is working in addition to my front and rear blinkers I also have a line of small lights down the side that blink as well.
Tonight I got a closer look at what is happening as I compared to the right side blinker. Under my dash is a small relay (I think) in a glass jar. When the blinker is on the right side that clicks. If I go back to the rear panel where there is a left and right Relay (again I think) the right one clicks and all the lights blink. Now when I try the left one the relay up front seems to click differently and not in any constant rhythm. When I go back and listen the the rear left relay it clicks only occasionally. Meanwhile sometimes the rear lights blink and the side lights just stay on. Or the rearights stay on the side lights blink.
I am told Steve Priarieschooner may have had a similar issue in the past. However, looking for suggestions from anyone.
