turn signals not working
Both sides of my 2002 turn signals went completely dead. The flasher wasn't working. HUD and dash indicators were not working either. Figured it was a fuse, so I pulled #8, ..good, #15 ...good, and by accident #16 ...also good.
Tried the signals again and guess what... everything works!!
My thought is age and the cold here in Chicago has affected the connections of the fuses in the instrument panel fuse box.
Has else anyone noticed this?? Has anyone possibly switched an electrical device and maybe just the connection was bad?
The external temp sensor is reading 155 degrees F. I'm pretty sure is has never been 155 in Chicago in February. I'll have to check its connection.

The fuse pulling could be a coincidence
My thought is its probably the hazard warning switch on its way out. Quite a common problem.

I actually did, my vettetech mentioned to me the same thing when I saw that my blinkers )and they still do) sometimes goes fast .. then regualar ..fast fast then regular. Oddly enough sometimes it went normal when the car was at a standstil then I moved the steering wheel back n forth. Thats when I was told about this "hazard warning switch" I'll ride it out till the damn thing is shot then replace it... meanwhile im sure that others behind me or infront get the idea... Im turning
