problem with blinkers...
only the front ones will not blink.
nor will they work as DRL's, but they will work if the headlights are on.
The rear ones work fine, but blink fast.
Since they work with the lights up, the bulbs are fine. I'm not showing any codes, and all the associated fuses are good.
It happened after I got done washing it.
any ideas?

Maybe posting about which direction to wax the car would have gotten you more replies as well?? j/k...
These type of problems are very hard to figure out without a Tech II... so if you dont get any answers... it could be because no one knows what is wrong without all the diagnostic equipment.
I have a similar prob... and it cured it self after washing the car. And I still dont know what the problem was because I have an appointment at the dealer for tues... if the problem does not come back, it will do me no good to keep it.
Best of luck to you on this prob.. best advice would be hookup a tech II and see WTF is going on with the car.

OK, I'll bite...
You say the rears blink fast, that usually means one or more lamps has a blown filiment.
You also say they work when the lights are on. Do you mean as blinkers or marker lights? If as a marker then you could have a blown filiment or a poor connection to the lamp(s)
Do they blink with your flasher?
These may sound like stupid questions, but the hope is, it will point to the cause

cool thanks... anyone got a bulb #? (I know it's in the manual, but can't get to it now. I want to call around)
the only work as markers with the lights on.... does this mean that both bulbs blew filaments at the simultaneously?

I'm an Electronics technician
but I am going to replace the bulbs before I go trouble shooting this at that level.
