Intermittant Front Blinker 2004 Z06
This may not be the first time someone has asked for help on this subject but I'm new to this net and I'm still trying to find my way around.
I have had an intermittant problem with the driver's side front blinker until 2 weeks ago when it quit completely. Last night I turned on the headlights and the blinker started working and is still working today.
Any info would be appreciated and thanks in advance.

The flasher circuit requires all the bulbs to be working to have the
right resistance to flash. This is done on purpose - when it stops
flashing, it means you have a bulb out.
I'm not sure if you've ever seen a regular house lightbulb that works
sometimes, but not all the time? It's because the filiment has
actually broken off one end, but makes contact sometimes, and
then it works.
Anyway, I think maybe this is what's happening - either that or
the flasher relay is getting funny.
Give it some time - if it's the bulb it will break and stay broke
at some point, and you'll see which bulb is out - same for the
relay.
