    odd directional problems

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    so my directionals have been acting up lately. when I got to use them sometimes they work perfectly fine but then other times the little arrow in the car will blink like normal then start blinking really fast and then shut off. I have no problems with the hazard lights whatsoever and none of my bulbs are burnt out. Any suggestions on what to start looking at? fuses? wiring harnesses?

    It's the hazard switch in the dash. Replacement from dealer is around 35 dollars. Did you just get this car recently?

    it is a cheap fix...around 44 dollars and takes 2 minutes to swap on your own.

    Re: odd directional problems

    ok thanks. That just seems odd how a little hazard light switch could screw with my directionals like that lol

    Re: odd directional problems

    Just be very careful and gentle taking off the hazard surround trim. People often snap it, crack it, or break the clips that hold it in place.
