turn signal gremlins?
OK, Right turn signal has been working intermitttently for a few months, changed bulbs,no change,was getting ready to replace the little clicker can under the dash, but I noticed something odd this morning. It's been getting dark in the morning when I leave for work and I noticed that with the headlights on the turn siganl works every time, turn them off and the indicator just gets bright no flashing. I sat there for awhile repeating this today and it works everytime I turn on the headlights and fails every time I turn them off. Parking lights make no difference it still fails to operate.

Re: turn signal gremlins? (Rays91L98)
sounds like you have a ground problem.
check to make sure the ground wires at the front bumper are good and tight, and not corroded.
Also, the flasher may be the root of this... you should hear a solid "click" when working.
take the bulbs out and clean the sockets, too. If they are rusty, things don't work right!
