Need some light help......
We'll start off with the blinkers. They work sometimes and sometimes you hit the stalk and no blink blink.
Headlight that I replaced the gear with the bronze gear 3 months ago will no longer pop up.
Reverse lights are not lighting up with car in reverse. They come on when I unlock the doors so I know the bulbs are good.
Any help will be appreciated.
BTW: It is a '01 Auto Coupe

The turn signal issue is more than likely related to a "defective" hazard switch / relay. Try toggling the hazard switch in and out 10 times or so, cleaning the contacts.. Most of us just live with it, a few have gone through the trouble to replace the switch. It's a PITA.
The back up lights are a result of two components failing; the first is the backup switch in the tranny. Notorious for failing. Replace it. I did mine in the garage for 10 bucks. When the switch goes, it usually shorts the associated fuse. You'll have to replace that one as well. It's in the fuse panel on the passengers-side floor board.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll do the hazard switch shortly to see if that helps and check the fuse and switch on the tranny this weekend.
Anybody got any suggestions other than pulling the motor apart on the headlight? If I pull it apart, what should I use to reseal it?
