damn blinker

[LD]

my left front blinker will occasionally go out. The back one will stay on steady when I turn the blinker on, but the front one does nothing. I think there must be 2 bulbs in there because when my headlights are on the orange running light is on but is alot dimmer than the passenger side. I would replace the bulb if it didn't work all the time, the problem is, is it comes and goes at will
Is this possibly an electrical problem? or is the bulb going out? maybe it's not getting enough power therefore running dim.
I dunno
got any help?

Why not eliminate the easy things first? Replace the bulbs, since that is probably what it is and it should cost less than $5.00.

Sounds like your low on blinker fluid. Check that before you do anything.

Man, ya beat me to it. That's what I was gonna sugguest. You may wanna check the discombobulator too.

Seriously, I would try replacing the bulbs first, then the blinker relays (I think there are two). From there, hope that it's not a wiring problem.

stupid thing works today, where is the blinker relay at? I want to check that, I think if the bulb was out it would never work, not work occasionally.

Behind the panel underneath the gauges...turn one signal on and you will be able to hear it clicking.

Preventive maintenance is the best thing you can do. I just had my blinker fluid filled and my muffler bearings replaced last week. Good to do it before they wear out. ;)
